The new color dialog box doesn’t let you select Pg_TRANSPARENT as a color.

Will this be added later?

It seems to work here.

Tell me about it…

You’ll find that a lot of PhAB’s interface doesn’t match the docs because
of some last-minute changes. The updated docs will appear whenever a
patch to RtP is made.

Maybe we’re looking at different things…

If I go to Options->Preferences->Colors and click on a color to change I get
the expected color dialog with the 16 basic colors and a button for
transparent.

But if I go to the Resources tab and click on Color: Fill for the base
window I get a color spectrum without a button to select transparent.

From my experiences in QNX4 I would have expected the same dialog to appear.

Maybe yoy already found out by now, but what you get is a quick color editor. You get this by clicking on the right side of the ctrlpanel. To get the one you wanted you have to click on the left side of the control panel.

Ah ha!.. Thank you very much!

I guess a person can get too used to the “old” way of doing things! :wink:
