It seems it ignores transparency setting

Yeah it does Unk. It's because of the way it's implemented. It uses the standard Windows edit control and this can't accept transparent colours.

I could make it so that no colour is used if you don't supply one (default is white at the moment). However, I think the Edit control uses the colour for wiping teh background when it needs to redraw. If this is the case then it won't be possible. I'll need to check.

The only alternative would be to write our own edit control. This is doable but would take time.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
