Hi HP-
We'll add it to the TODO list for sometime after the 2.9 release.

Recently I have frequently been using a colour table partially that
includes (semi-)transparent stretches. The colour scale displays
correctly in the selection list of colour tables, i.e. you see the
(semi-)transparent stretches. However, in all other instances (in the
legend and when burnt into the display + other places?) the colour
scale shows no transparency signature. It would be especially useful
to have the signature in the display. Is this a bug or oversight?
This is by design. There was a brief period in the development of IDV
2.8 (one of the alpha or beta releases) where the transparent portion
was displayed in the legends.
Obviously, I was not yet sensitive to this issue then, otherwise I would
have shouted over the Atlantic.
It just didn't look right, so we made them solid and ignored the
transparency. Perhaps this could be a preference in some future release.
I am not sure why it should not have looked right. To me it looks
alright when editing the colour table and also when choosing the table
from a list of tiny colour bars. I you look at the attached image you
clearly see that the colour bar without showing the tranparent part is
transmitting wrong information. Might this feature re-appraised (after
your departure (or on Sundays when you are working from home ;-) ).
cheers, HP
