transparency becomes current

[handrawn]

Just a reminder to anyone out there wishing to take full advantage of the freehand sketching [amongst other things] - that transparency as a current attribute is disabled by default in xtreme

In order to enable it you need to change the value of the attribute registry key 'TransparencyBecomesCurrent' to 1

usual warnings and disclaimers regarding editing the registry directly...

Steve that option has been in XaReg for several versions now.

Glad to hear that Bill thanks

If I remember rightly, leaving this key on permanently can have knock on effects, so best to switch it off when you don't need it

oh and did I ever tell you how great Xreg is [even if us old Hacks don't always use it ]

Can you please take a moment to explain the phrase
'TransparencyBecomesCurrent'?

Does this mean that the current color is assigned transparency properties?
