There's not really an easy way to do it. The splashscreen is an artistic impression:) A way to make the background of PNGs (optionally) transparent would be nice. It shouldn't be impossible, but I can't see the right way to do it (in lib/dialibartrenderer.c or app/export_png.c). > -> When I try to toggle the Snap to Grid function I click the off, > apply, and OK, but it does not work.

The Preferences setting is only for new diagrams. For existing diagrams, use the View->Snap To Grid menu item, or (in recent enough versions) the little toggle button in the bottom of the diagram. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
