Well, tinted glass in a white tone would be rather... weird?

If by that you mean what's commonly known as milk glass, then almost no light makes it through the glass, so both Adywan's and Angel's screenshots would be wrong

If you meant frosted glass, then even in that case Angel's right. Cause it's a problem focused on how much light passes through the glass, and not how does it pass (diffuse transmition). Check out an example:

As you see, frosted glass transmit visible radiation in a different manner than transparent light, but the ammount of light is nearly the same.

Finally, assuming there was some white tinted glass in a galaxy far far away, then, as any other tinted glass, it technically absorbs energy (therefore, less light should be casted through the light, even less than in Ady's screenshot). Infact, that's one of the functions of tinted glass, to perform better thermically by absorbing some wavelenght radiations.
