I can't see any transparent opacity in the above example.
We want to implement a hover effect with the given color "rgba(205, 205, 205, 0.6)", with some transparency so that the user has some idea about the underlying color of the cell while he is hovering.
Now I get your point, I created a custom solution to add overlay with the color and opacity you wanted on the point when hovering on it.
I used SVGRenderer on point.eevents.mouseOver to achieve that.
