[Qgis-developer] Map composer legend item transparency

[Andreas Neumann]

yes, I had a similar issue with some of my projects. But I don't know if 
it is very easy to solve? Potentially, there could be many layers with 
different transparency settings interacting with each other. Think of a 
transparent layer on a transparent layer on a transparent layer on a 
hillshade ... What should the legend do in this case?

It is definitely worth some thinking of course, since it is a real 
problem in the legend ... How do other GIS solve the problem?
