transparency for IB items

[gurulogic]

hehe, always wanting more...

I think in some cases it could be incredibly usefull (and pretty) to be able to set transparency for IB items....
For example , a VU meter could be behind a fader, opaque buttons over an opaque graphic design etc.

Also an option in layout to set an IB item to always either be on top or in back. Right now it can get a bit complicated when you want to for example put an led on top of a switch.

v6?

i already asked that before
from what ive understood, in usine graphical stuff is directly linked to cpu, that would make a huge additionnal charge, vs for example a dirextX or opengl engine could support, cause this would be computed by gpu, not cpu. i would prefer opengl in v7

hehe, more more more...

Let Senso take a break

This transparency stuff is one the list, but it's far from simple has it rely one the GPU...

Phhht! I always seee Senso say something is not simple or even impossible and then it magicly appears in the next update!
But yes, please by all means take a break!

Few comments about suggestions.

- the transparency is very CPU CPU hungry and I didn't find any good solution.
- I try to fix bugs to have very stable V5
- I expect for a short development break to have time to think about the future of Usine.
