There can only be a transition for a CSS property from one value to another. For a fade transition, the opacity should go from 0 to one.
CSS
.foo {
opacity: 0;
transition: all 400ms;
}
.foo.active {
opacity: 1
}
The property display that assign the method toggle () can't be animated with the CSS transitions. Maybe you want to look at fadeIn() and fadeOut().
Edit
Another method fadeToggle() i don't know much about it but you can search and use this:
$('.back-fade').click(function(){
$('#welcome-content').fadeToggle(2000);
$('#configure-content').fadeToggle(2000);
});
