Morphology

unpinned = pinned (transparent) = un + pin + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the state of being 'pinned', making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Unpinned comes from the parts un- meaning 'not' or 'remove' and pin meaning 'a small fastener' or 'marker'. Think of a message that was 'pinned' to the top of a chat and then taken down; an unpinned message is no longer fixed at the top.
