Transparent colors

The InTouch internal application object data structure for bitmaps contains a Boolean field indicating that transparent color should be applied. Another field stores the actual transparent color.

In WindowMaker, if you create a new bitmap object, it initially has a default transparent color that is black and is unavailable. After you select the transparent color tool, you have applied a permanent transparent color to the bitmap object. From the transparent color tool, there is no visual cue that the transparent color has been assigned to a bitmap.

For bitmap objects imported from an XML file, the transparent color node for a bitmap is an optional entry, but if it is present, the transparent color is enabled and the transparent color is assigned to the bitmap object. There is no mechanism for the end user to open the window in WindowMaker, to select the bitmap object, and then to disable the transparent color.
