Hi, To me this is not an issue, but a preference. I don't like alpha transparency personally. "This is not what people expect or want and hence the need to fix that." Is wrong. Regardless, thanks for sending code / feedback. Maybe it can be added to the wiki page for the alpha patch? The wiki is public and can be pushed to. -- Kind regards, Hiltjo
