That could indeed work for the background problem I have. But then again like I said before. It would be easier to have transparency for panels, as it would resolve the need for panes inserted in panels to be able to hide or delete them when needed. That would also solve the background problem. Would that be easy to achieve with the new implementation?

So, if `on-paint' were added to panels, would that help to implement your application? At Mon, 21 Feb 2011 09:28:23 +0100, "Christophe Vandenberghe" wrote: > "on-paint" for panels?
