Hi, I have no idea what was possible with version 1.8. You are right, in a newer QGIS release this is certainly possible. Why can't you upgrade or do the project on a laptop of your own?
If you can't make it to work with the ellipse marker you may try using an SVG marker. You can create the SVG either by hand in a text editor or with Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. In SVG anything can be partially or fully transparent. Good luck, Andreas Am 24.07.2014 11:29, schrieb Thomas Obel: > Hey QGIS users, > > > > I’m using QGIS 1.8.
