Appearance Element Context Menu - White Background

[rjh]

I want to put an image on UI elements but EA appears to be putting a rectangular white background around the image which I can't get rid of.  For example, I want a button to have an image which is say oval or some non-rectangular shape.  This white background makes the new image on the button unusable for my purposes, either I need to change that background color or make it transparent.

I've tried changing settings on the image and also tried Settings / UML Types / Stereotypes and selected button to see if the fill color could be set to something else but it doesn't appear to be changeable, it appears to revert back to default after saving.

Is there any way to remove this rectangular white background from my alternative image appearances on elements?

At a guess you're trying to use a transparent PNG.

There's no support for PNG transparencies in alternate images in EA.

Thanks for the reply.  Can this capability be patched or added to the next release?  Not requiring perfect rectangular alternative images, especially on UI elements, would greatly enhance usability.
