The Fix Texture Seams button redraws the edges of disconnected polygons so that background artifacts and ugly seams are removed.

Transparent

The Transparent button enables transparency for the display of textures. Any part of the texture map that is 100% black will be dispalyed as transparent. Note that it is not possible the get subtle effects like this; areas are either transparent or opaque.
