I'm not sure about the purpose of a transparent figure window.
In Matlab, the figure color is the background color of the figure
widget, it's not "none" by default (but something like light gray).
What do you expect to happen with a figure color set to "none"?
Transparent window?

Also, the axes color is white by default. This makes sense if
you consider that the figure color is light gray by default.
