When selecting to create a cloud layer the prompt gives you 2 options Solid/Transparent
My question is..
Why transparent mode requests an additional bmp for transparecy ?
since all clouds are white then the first bmp should be a totaly blank (white) picture and the second would be the clouds themselves

Well, mostly yes, however the idea behind it is to allow the developer to add a (multiple) colored *bmp as a base (for example white with blueish/greyish spots or essentially any desired color) for the cloud textures. The second *bmp acts as your Alpha channel.
