making objects transparent

[Adam Richardson]

Yep, it's easily done. Select the rectangle, and in the fill inspector make sure it has a color fill. Click the color swatch so that the Colors palette comes up. Drag the opacity slider at the bottom of the Colors palette to the desired level of transparency. Done!

One neat thing about OG is you can have different levels of opacity if you are using a gradient fill - each color of the gradient can be given different amounts of opacity.
