[Qgis-developer] Transparency options for background disappeared in Composer items

2013-05-06 Thread Régis Haubourg
Hi All, 
Last week, i could specify if a composer item had a transparent background
or not. 
Today, I only have a color option for background with a alpha band value.

I couldn't have it opaque . Does alpha value works? 

I think alpha tuning must be used by powerusers only. 90 % user don't know
about alpha bands. I preferred by far a checkbox and a transparency slider. 
Why did they disappear? Did I miss something? 
Régis

Just a complement. I did get transparency work with alpha band, but it needed
a full refresh of composer to start working correctly. 
Could we simply rename Alpha channel to Alpha channel (transparency) in
color picker, so that beginners know where to search for new forms of 1.8
options?

Maybe better Transparency (Alpha channel).
All the best.

Agreed. ticket filed here: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7771

if someone has some time to take it, that would save me lots of efforts in
the hotline period after 1.8 to 2.0 switch.
