  You don't need transparency, just draw a darker rectangle over everything, send to back, make everything else slightly lighter, draw your popover on top of that. Easy.

  "you should be able to create an opaque rectangle" - but you can't? Please advice, it's a pretty basic feature to be able to simulate overlay windows.

  Also... like button? Super basic stuff seems to be missing.

  I just copy a page, make everything darker using the color option. Lock it all up and draw a rectangle on top of everything to mimic the effect. Works like a charm.

  Ah! Ok. In that case i'm putting in a vote for an overlay widget because an opaque rectangle doesn't illustrate the "overlay" effect well enough.

  Daniel, you can't adjust the opacity of a colored rectangle but you can make it completely clear by selecting the color swatch with the red X in it.

  I can't seem to edit opacity of a rectangle, is it even possible?

  I seem to be unable to find a way to get the background to be semi-transparent, so as to create an overlay similar to shadowbox... Am I missing something?

  having opaqueness would be very helpful

  Can you allow us to edit the border color, width, too, please? If we could set borders to 0px and combine rectangles, I could create "shapes" to use in mega-menus, custom callouts, etc..

  Allowing for opaqueness would be great, that would solve my problems for now.

  Sheena, I think that rectangle with color and alpha options are enough for now, but for the future, I thinks it s better if we can have one tools to make a "real" popup gfx

  Would the ability to color an opaque rectangle be enough?

  We second that!
