#38 transparent as background colour option

[Helen Varley Jamieson]

one of our users has requested the ability to make the chat window background colour transparent if so desired.

we already can select background colours for the backdrop & props bars, & i think the ability to change the colours of other tool palettes & the chat window may already be in development; would it be possible to have transparent included in the colour picker options by default, for all situations where you can select a background colour?

with v2.4.2 we have the ability to change the background colours of the following:
- stage background
- tool palette
- chat window
- props & backdrops bars

but transparency is not currently an option, only colours (including white).

no-one else has asked for this option, it is not urgent & in most cases you wouldn't want transparency in the chat window as it would make the text difficult to read - it could be a nice effect to see the avs go under it, but they would only be able to go partially under it. can't see any reason for wanting the tool palettes or backdrops/props bars to be transparent. so this is very minor!
