I also tried to used both black and white for the alpha0 setting, and also turned document background back on again as combinations for testing. * Setting the document background to transparent checkerboard, and its background color wheel alpha to 0. I'd expect to see just the A without any background as I see it in Inkscape, after its exported. The A is displaying OK, but so to is the rectangle as a painted object!. That's not happening after I export the selected A and rectangle. The problem is that I need to see the A, while the square that it sits on, should be transparent. (the rectangle is needed to set the dimensions of the exported A icon so that the icon is 10 px square in the game) I'm using inkscape to create some simple icons for a game.įor this issue, imagine a red letter A on a 10 px sq rectangle. My next step will be going over your file in inkscape to see what settings I missed, etc., and will try to duplicate what you got.I understand how to make a documents entire background transparent, but not sure how to make just 1 object transparent ** that stays transparent** when I export it. I opened it in inkscape and resized it, and that worked perfectly! huge space between the logo and beginning of the text. So I got a teeny logo and the rest of the page was way down. 1st shot didn't work because the image was only a small part of the actual graphic saved. I loaded your graphic into one of the web pages. However, it's been many years since I did anything using anything like PhotoShop, etc.
