STEP Export/Import colors override (?)

[easyw-fc]

Or replace transparency with alpha. OK, i stop. I am way too picky.

I wouldn't suggest so...
IMO Transparency is a long established value in Combo view for shapes... changing this would change the user's habit

Assigning instead the Transparent 0-100% to faces in the set color view would be a new mode, but aligned to the old Transparency value assigned to shapes.

May as well add the last bit, I suppose! Please have a look at PR 5106.

Many thanks. This is a very useful feature. I wanted to document it and thus played with it and see that the feature is missing in other places. here 2 examples:

- right-click on a part in the tree view and then select "Appearance".
- Preferences -> Display -> Colors

Will you add the transparency feature also to these?
I can also do some of this work the next days if you like since I guess it is only adding the line

Code: Select all

colorButton->setAllowTransparency(true);

to the different color boxes and the change in

Code: Select all

color.setRgbF

, right?

Yes, and you are welcome to it if you'd like. I'm traveling right now, so it will be a few days before I can get to it.

[uwestoehr]

Yes, and you are welcome to it if you'd like.

OK, I will do so. Enjoy your journey.

I had a look and the colors in the preferences are of the type "SbColor" that does not support transparency.
