[Qgis-user] Map composer - Transparency in legend symbols

[Paolo]

Hello list,
I have a question regarding the map composer.
I often use vector layers with simple fills and a transparency level set 
(es. 50%) in order to show underlying features.

When you compose a map including layers with a transparency level set, 
the symbols in the legend won't reflect the transparency level of the 
matching layer. So the symbols in the legend will show the fill color at 
100% saturation while the map shows the same color, but with a lower 
level of saturation.
This makes matching the symbols in the legend with those on the map harder.

I see that you can give the legend a degree of transparency, but that 
will also affect text and other elements of the legend as well.
Is there a workaround for this (lesser) problem?
