Line of code that adjusts translucent level?

Hey fellow code/trade enthusiasts,
Been a VIP for a couple of years and usually just benefit (greatly) from the tremendously awesome and helpful community we have here. @BenTen and @MerryDay are absolute legends you ask me.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone had a good line of code I could insert into an auto-trend line study that will adjust its translucence/hue/saturation (??). Essentially I would like it to be more see-through so it blends with the background a little better, hopefully a code snippet I could apply to a bunch of different studys that create horizontal lines S/R, etc.

If this is asking for a lot, tell me so. I am no coder, but I love to fiddle with stuff and every once and a while I can figure stuff out or get resourceful within this forum, but wasnt finding a lot on this topic. FWIW here is the code I have been using for auto-trend lines. Its suprisingly accurate, but really, I would just like the snippet to apply to a few of them.

Thanks in advance


Code:
