+### Adjusting Watermark Opacity
+
+Please note that the watermark opacity is set to 100% in [博碩士論文上傳說明](https://www.lib.nthu.edu.tw/ETD/downloads/upload.pdf). However, without reducing its opacity, the watermark may be indistinguishable from the foreground text and thus impede reading. After the discussion in the closed issue https://github.com/elsa-lab/NTHUthesis/issues/2, we decided to leave the customization effort to the user who thinks reducing opacity is necessary. One possible modification can be done in `NTHUthesis.cls` as follows.

+*Origin*:
+```latex
+% Watermark of NTHU
+\ifdefined \nowatermark \else
+    \RequirePackage{draftwatermark}
+    \SetWatermarkAngle{0}
+    \SetWatermarkText{\includegraphics[width=.5\paperwidth]{nthu-logo.pdf}}
+\fi
+```
+
+*Modification*:
+```latex
+% Watermark of NTHU
+\ifdefined \nowatermark \else
