I'm guess this is a bug. I tried your example with the beta version of view, and the colors are what you expected, but when I run it on the 'official' view (non-pro), I always see the black background.
With your last example, the cut-out area in the beta version is that slightly different yellow color, not black. So it looks like the color you set for the border should be used for the cut- out area as well. mike > > >>If I specify both edge and oval color > >> > >>view layout [button 120x120 "test" with [effect: [0x1 oval 0.255.255 ] > >>edge: [color: 255.0.0 ] ] ] > > > > > >I am not sure if it is what you are asking for, but few latest View > >releases changed the way transparency works by default.
