Description grotlek 2013-03-07 17:31:21 UTC

My use case: I'm trying to write a drawing to be overlaid on top of a web page with a dark colour scheme. Hence I'm developing with a black background.

However setting this background prevents exporting as transparency. It exports a black background.

Therefore my export process is "remove background, export, put background back" .. doing this regularly is quite burdensome.

It would be nice if an option were available to ignore the background (and just make it transparent) when exporting, so that this extra hassle could be avoided.

(An alternative implementation would be to be able to set the window's colour - so that the page background and the overall background could be changed independently).

Thanks for reporting!

This is a legit enhancement request. Therefore I mark this as NEW.
