Hi Pablo and guys. Wonder if it's possible now to set transparency/alpha to a text color?

There is no option to set the alpha value of text.
However, you can set the opacity of the text's container.

Sorry Pablo... I do not follow you... Can I doing this just make the text/font transparent with a value? Ex 50% or alpha 175?

You can set the opacity of the text object via the property inspector.

Got it
That works perfect. I was not checking that direction.
Thanks Pablo

Just a following up...
I'm using the "Style manager" for all text/fonts in the project. Is it possible to set the transparency there? And if I set a transparency at "Property inspector" does this impact anything on the settings I have made in "Style manager"?

The opacity cannot be set via the Style Manager.
