Steve, you can always add transparency to each vector object. And not only flat transparency, but also linear, circular, conical, diamond, ...

In Xara Xtreme colors are colors and not mixed with transparency.

Yes off course, thanks.
Trouble is, this add bit, it means the fastest drawing program in the world is still taking the long way round on this one

Thanks Remi

But it then applies to all the color in the object, I would like to be able to do this to just one color element within the object.

Its not mixing with transparency - its adding transparency as an additional attribute. You don't have to have it, but you can add it in if you need it.
Sure makes blending color easier.

Thanks Egg

There's confusion here I think between applying transparency to the object - one thing
And removing a specific color element, either totally or to a given degree of opacity, from within an object that has many such color elements - a completely different thing.

Hi Steve,

I like some ideas of the Inkscape team, but I'm not sure why the different transparency handling of Inkscape should be better than the usual separate handling of colors and transparency in other vector graphics editors.

Do you know an example, which needs this technique?
