If your graphics card (and driver) are reasonably new, when you export an image as a PNG right now, it should have a transparent background. This is actually how I make most of my presentations. Some of the code changes in mind for Avogadro 2.0 would make it much easier to set an image background in the application itself (or a gradient or some such). But it's a good idea. The best way to make sure it doesn't get lost is to submit to the feature request tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=165310&atid=835080 Thanks and best regards, -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
