AFAIK, not possible.
Sorry.

Actually, it is possible to adjust stealth effects to a certain degree, if they are a primary/secondary powers and are modifiable at the tailor. I changed the look of Cloak of Darkness on my Dark tanker to look less like a cloud of dust, and it also made it look less transparent. Don't remember the exact name of the setting I chose, but it was something like "No Fade, No Pulse". Give that a try to see if it gives you more of the effect you want.|

Thank you for the suggestion.
It is for the "Hide" power. Unfortunately I tried several options and no luck.
I did find out that the FX in pvp only has no sound effect, while the Light, Dark and Original have an annoying loud sound effect that is also very un-sneaky.
If the visible thing is a no go, maybe some way to increase contrast so I wont have to deal with eye strain?
Maybe stealth isn't for me after all.
Hmm, Hide is pretty much a key power for Stalkers, and stealth is the signature ability for them. You may want to consider trying another AT if the way stealth is implemented in CoH bothers you that much.

I'd like power pool stealth to not be SHINY GLOW OVERPOWERING MY SCREEN.
My pet peeve is people who refuse to acknowledge it when I tell them my character has unlimited power. If I rp attack them they are of course disintegrated beyond the ability of any hospital or magic to restore. Yet despite this they refuse to delete their characters and still keep playing them as if nothing happened. ~Mandu, 07-16-2010
Bummer. I'd been wondering how to do this for my upcoming Energy Aura Brute, who doesn't turn invisible, but does have a force field.
I guess SR is a better fit mechanically there, but I wanted to try something new. I'll find that extra defence elsewhere....
I personally would like Katana to be Energy/Dark damage and not lethal. Anyway I could change that 
?
Don't mean to be snarky, this is what your request sounds like. The whole idea about stealth is that you are hard to see. Why do you want a visible stealthy character... ? If you want an assassin that blatantly runs up and smashes you in the face, choose a brute or scrapper.
I really would like it if katana could be made to do energy/dark (maybe like a sith lightsaber or something). >.> but I am pretty sure its never gona happen
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
We need pools and APP/PPP full customization.
What if the OP wants to have a character who doesn't turn invisible, but rather blends into crowds to allow "stealth"? I would like to have this ability, because the lack of it is one of the reasons I pretty much never play characters with stealth or invisibility.

I don't think that's really a good idea anymore with the power customization we already have on other sets. It would be like saying "well, imagine it's green" to someone playing a theoretical set which used the same animations as legacy Fire Blast, but couldn't be colour customized.

Actually I just want to be able to see my character better while invisible. On my screen.
Basically my character is too invisible for me to clearly make out while playing and moving.
I end up with eye strain due to this.
Less transparent even would be great - 50% opaque would be better than now. Or an opaque 100% black or purple or blue solid w/e.
Really, ideally I just dont want to be rendered transparent on my client, I was hoping it could be fixed with graphics commands or something. I found some information about how you could turn off some glow effects with Slash commands but none of those did anything about the transparency.

I think you misunderstand me. I am fine with my character being "invisible" as an in game situation.
The problem is my character is so invisible that I, the player, can not even see the character well enough.
You *might* try posting in the Tech Issues & Bugs section - see if some of those hard-core tech-heads might be able to come up with some kinda client-side tweak for you.

Also, thanks to everyone who responded whether they got what I meant or not.
Hello,
I would like my character to not look mostly invisible on my screen when my stealth effect is on.
Instead I would like to look visible.
How do I do this?
