Alpha Transparency Support with KDE 4.7
2011-07-26
After a long period of silence, here are some news about kolourpaint, which since has become a fully ported KDE4 application.
In the latest KDE release 4.7 kolourpaint got some important enhancements:
Alpha Channel Transparency Support allows now to edit images not only with full transparent or full opaque pixels but also with semi-transparent pixels blending colors on top of each other (supported e.g. in the PNG file format)
The tools "toolbar" is now a real KDE toolbar, allowing it to move around and dock it either horizontally or vertically as you like it.
Taking a screenshot is now an integrated functionality and no longer requires an external application
The source repository of kolourpaint was moved to the new KDE git infrastructure along with all the other KDE graphics applications
