o$: making a field transparent so that it shows on top of an image in the background
morning all:
for the life of me, I’m struggling to get this right and cannot remember how to do it. I’m using studio 5.2.3 at the moment (studio 8.1 is in the near future)
what am I trying to do?
1) put a backgrojnd picture on a screen (no problem – just copy and paste on the window)
2) put a field on top of the background picture and set the text and colour I want (no problem, just set text colour under ‘text’ tab of properties
3) make the field transparent so that the back ground shows through with the end goal that I just have text on the background.
this last part is proving exceedingly difficult as I can’t find the combination of properties that will let me do it.
what I end up with is some colour background that I ca’t get rid of and the text within that.
field tyoes are: kmultilineentry and kentry
it works with ktext fields ..
ideas?
