Clipping border (Alt B) makes a dark box around the selected area:

Setting the background color to the same color as the box doesn't work if you have Only render enabled.

How to make the box transparent instead?

  • $\begingroup$ @David I think the OP is asking how to theme the clipping display box. Imo theme makes more sense here than rendering.. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ While there are a lot of colours you can change in a theme, not every colour is exposed in the theme settings. Some drawing is done by colours set within the code or as tints based on a set variation of a defined colour. I expect you will need to get a developer to create a patch to adjust this colour. As for only render - the world colour settings are shown in the background. $\endgroup$

There is a setting for 'Clipping Border' now in newer version of Blender. themes / preferences / 3dview / clipping border color option box. The default color is a dark grey, and the setting for transparency is called 'A' for Alpha Value. The default Alpha is 1 which is Opaque, if you move the slider to '0' the View Clipping Background is Transparent!
