[Kstars-devel] Proposed patch for semi-transparent label BG

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

I just committed a patch to restore the semi-transparent background of our 
on-screen infoboxes.

I would like to use the same semi-transparent background for object labels, 
instead of the current opaque background using the sky color.  My proposed 
patch is attached[1].  I think it looks a lot better this way.  The only 
potential drawback is some confusion when labels overlap, but IMO, it's not 
that bad.

For 4.1, I would make the the rendering of label BGs an option (full opaque, 
semi-transparent, or full transparent), but for now I'd like to hard-code the 
semi-transparent rendering.

Any objections?

regards,
Jason
