Re: transparent colors?

[Michael Goffioul]

Transparency is not supported yet in the OpenGL renderer code.
It was in its JHandles ancestor, but I didn't that part of the code.
The main problem with transparency is that you have to sort fragments
from back to front when rendering, to have the correct blending with
opaque fragments.
