Description Rodrigo Zimmermann 2015-08-06 16:03:20 UTC

I suggest implementing a transparency effect for objects in a given layer, and also implement such masks which exist in other drawing programs such as Inkscape.

Comment 1 Buovjaga 2015-10-09 17:28:30 UTC

Draw is not Inkscape, but let's ask UX.

Comment 2 Regina Henschel 2015-10-09 17:53:00 UTC

It is not clear, what such a feature is proposed to do. Transparency is a property of the individual shape. The layer in Draw are tools to group shapes to include/exclude a group of shapes from printing and/or viewing. Layers in Draw should not be confused with Layers in a raster-graphic image processor.

Comment 3 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2016-08-25 05:39:27 UTC Comment hidden (obsolete)

We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword:
 Component -> LibreOffice
 Add Keyword: needsUXEval

Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2016-10-05 09:32:37 UTC

As Regina said, ODF define layers very clearly as just a grouping feature. If you want a transparency "layer" you should fill it completely with a shape and apply the transparency for this object.

The enhancement request WONTFIX because we follow the ODF specification.
