 Using the new symbology with categorized data does not provide a
 convenient means to set a single transparency value for all levels at
 once. Instead, you have to go through each item and toggle the
 transparency setting to the desired level. This can take quite some time
 if there are numerous categories. It would be better to have a global
 setting, then allow users the option of setting per level transparency
 from the property dialog for a given level.

 Additionally, not having the ability to type in a numeric value for the
 transparency setting makes setting exact values very difficult. Two
 things: 1) make the setting an editable value so users can type in an
 exact value; 2) do not carry the setting to so many decimal points - whole
 integers seems perfectly adequate for setting transparency amounts.
