    this isn't a hack, it does address a legitimate problem that really does exist. this will not fix the problem you addressed a few minutes ago, but this problem is equally real. this *needs* to go in. so does a fix to your proposed problem. but they are separate problems that just happen to exist within the same source file or two.

    Tomas, please add a isTransparent method, function, macro, etc... so that testing for transparent colors is easy.
