Hello!
I had a very brief test of inkscape 0.40 and of course had a shot at using the layers feature and I liked it, especially that one could easily temporarely hide layers. One feature I would really appreciate is an additional option for a layer, in addition to locking and hiding: dimming (or whatever to call it). That is, one can set a layer to have a opacity lower than 1 to make it semi-transparent by using some convenient GUI widget.
I know, one can do that today by entering the XML-editor (we all love it, don't we?) and once there, select the group the layer consists of and add "opacity: 0.5" (or whatever) to the group's style property. So it's already available but you know, a GUI isn't bad either.
Thanks for a great tool! It is getting better and better!
Best regards

PS. I know, "Dim-able layers" might sound a bit corny but I could not make up any other term. (not a native English speaker, living in Sweden).
Good idea - can you add this to the feature request (RFE) tracker at http://www.sf.net/projects/inkscape/ ?
Thanks, Bryce
