The same question regarding pstricks's transparency was discussed in pgf's and pstricks's opacity is not working

Unfortunately, after upgrading to Texlive 2023 and Ghostscript 10.02.1, the same old issue we've discussed in this previous Q & A about pstricks's transparency appeared again.

Additionally, this time the changing of command in TexStudio from ps2pdf %.ps %.pdf to ps2pdf -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY %.ps %.pdf or ps2pdf -dNOSAFER %.ps %.pdf doesn't solve the problem, as had happened before.

Any ideas?

Edit (23/12/2024): The issue related with XeTeX, which I'm using.

    your example in the other question works fine for me in a current texlive 2024 with latex+dvips+pstopdf (and also in lualatex if I add \DocumentMetadata{} and remove the inputenc line). Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 10:06
  • @UlrikeFischer Thank you. I'm using XeTeX and TeXLive 2023, where this issue came up. Are you saying that with TeXLive 2024 there isn't such an issue? What about XeTeX? Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 10:25

    @GrigoriosKostakos no where in your question is xelatex mentioned. You might want to fix that Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 10:47

    with xelatex you need to use it with an option like `--output-driver="xdvipdfmx -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg -q -E". And sorry: but your question is then absolutely not the same as the one 6 year ago, which (because of the inputenc) clearly didn't use xetex. Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 11:01
  • @UlrikeFischer. Thank you. I apologize for the omission. I've already edited my question, adding that info. Commented Dec 23, 2024 at 11:14
