Hello MVL-BE,

The functionality still exists, but it's been moved to the color picker tool.

To control opacity, you select the "+" button from the color selector. Opacity is one of the settings.

To make something transparent, you select that as a color from the color selector tool.

Hope that helps,

-Stephen

Hi MV,

 

So the steps are now:

  • Pick Fill Color
  • Click the "+" key to create custom color
  • Use the transparency slider to choose between 0-100 fill (or any value between)

 

When you click Add Color you'll have a new color swatch with your transparency option.

 

Hope that helps,

-Stephen

Hi StephenNewton,

if not mistaken is this only 100% fill vs. 100% opaque in the color picker tool.

Not the x opaque  % setting...
