I can remove the stroke-opacity altogether. As mentioned before, I don't have any particular goal in mind with respect to that property...I just implemented it at the same time as fill-opacity because it was easy to add. I do want to keep the fill-opacity so we can take advantage of it in the future, though. It is something that may not be implemented immediately, but would make the code much cleaner once we are able to support it. - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
