However, the StaticText always seems to draw with a solid (opaque) background color, hiding the image. I have tried creating a wx.Color object and changing the alpha value there, but that yields no results. Is there any way I ...
I am quite a heavy user of wxWidgets, partly because of licensing reasons. How do you see the future of wxWidgets in prospect of the recent announcement of Qt now being released under LGPL?
