When I try to use composition mode since the past update or two, the “paper fade” slider affects the background instead of the actual center page/document, which lets whatever is behind Scrivener peek through (be in another window or my desktop background) instead of showing more of the background I selected for writing focus. I assume this is a glitch?
I’ve merged this with the existing bug report. Note that it only appears when using Scrivenings mode, so there is a way around it at least.
Sorry, I missed this thread when creating my post! Thanks for merging.
My issue isn’t quite the same as these, though. I wasn’t in Scrivenings mode, and the opacity slider wasn’t inactive. I was looking at a single document and the opacity slider was affecting the background rather than the page. It still adjusted the opacity, but it affected the opacity of the wrong thing.
Are you perhaps using a tiled background texture setting, instead of a backdrop image? The latter is set in Project ▸ Project Settings..., under the Background Images tab. It is a project-specific setting in other words, whereas a texture is used universally and set in Appearance: Composition Mode: Colors tab of File ▸ Options..., with the Screen Background setting.
This texture setting is meant more for, well, textures like paper or slate or something, and so in that model the fade slider acts the same as it would for a solid background colour, since the intent is meant to be similar.
Ah, I did have the wrong background setting changed. Thank you!
Thanks for the update! Glad you got it working right.
I’ve gone ahead and moved it back to the original thread since it was indeed a different issue.
