[Gambas-user] Replacement for TextEdit or a RichText conversion

[Bruce Steers]

Is compositing enabled?
Transparency only shows on a desktop who's window manager is using
compositing.
So either Marco + compositing or Metacity + compositing or Compiz
(I find Compiz the best)

Also are you using latest gambas?
there were some glitches in some qt objects backgrounds showing black that
have now been fixed, Ie' just setting a raised border would show a qt
object as black (but only in the IDE not when program was run.)

If that's the problem then I would suggest using gambas in GTK mode not QT
then the objects might look better in the IDE
Or upgrading to latest gambas daily build
