Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-09-20 13:47:10 UTC
or in other words -- treat transparency _also_ as a color.

I know GIMP has alpha channel and it provides transparency. However it is artificial for me that you have colors and then you have distinct entity -- transparency. It would be useful (and _intuitive_) to have black color, white color, ... and transparent "color", so user could pick up color dialog, choose transparent and paint/draw with transparency.

Such metaphor is more accurate to real world and thus more appealing to weekend artist (who would like to do some things in simple manner).

Bugzilla is not the right place to discuss such changes. Please propose such changes on the gimp-developer mailing-list.
