Re: Setting a background to transparent

If you open the default web 1280px template, as Xara says the Page Background Rectangle is (No colour, No colour) for Fill and Line.
The Pasteboard background is (White, No colour). If you set this to (No colour, No colour), the design page changes to a grey (RGB #383c40).
If you then Preview, the Pasteboard appears as White.
If you then delete both Rectangles, the Page background and Preview switch to White.
Keep the Page background rectangle and set to (No colour, No colour) or make it a Flat 100% Transparency and the Preview still stays White.
If you delete either Layer, you still end up with White.

Ah, got it now. I can plop my image on a transparent page background rectangle and export from there. I had not thought of it that way. (The page being a rectangle in itself).
Thanks Acorn.
