[Cuis-dev] Transparent Form ?

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Hilaire,

As you saw, this problem is not related to VectorGraphics. BitBlt with 
alpha blending to translucent targets is also broken. For each pixel, it 
should divide the r, g, b values of the result by the alpha. That is 
exactly what I just fixed in the VectorGraphics engine. Fixing this in 
the BitBlt plugin is harder and unlikely, because it would change the 
behavior of existing code, perhaps in unexpected ways. So, the attach. 
It fixes the result of #imageForm:, in Smalltalk. It will have a 
performance impact. Fortunately, #imageForm: is usually called only to 
cache stuff, so a bit of performance loss will not be a problem.

Please try it.

Thanks,
