Title: Transparent background color for elements?
Post by: Boron on January 21, 2012, 01:02:16 am

Hello,
how can I set a transparent color (well, "no color") as background color for an element?

I have unintentionally set a background color for an Activity Partition. Now I should change it back to "transparent".
Somehow this seems not to be possible.

For most elements you can't set them to transparent. For elements that default to transparent set them to their default colour. You'll need to make sure that the local diagram appearance and default appearance are set to default.

A feature request for what? Setting the background colour of an arbitrary element to transparent?

Yes, actually what I'd like to see is the ability to set transparency from 0 to 100% anywhere a colour can be set.


thanks

And please also see consistence of colour dialogues
