Maybe add opacity support for List or Menu controls?
I'm working on some webpage mockups. I'd like to introduce the notion of a dropdown for navigating to a few different pages. I've noticed that the Rectangle/Canvas control supports opacity. I'd love it if either the List or Menu control offered opacity, so that I could overlay the 'pulled down' menu on the page, illustrating what could be on the dropdown, while not obscuring what's on the page beneath the extended dropdown. Sorry it took so many words to say that. :-)
I’m almost 100% happy

Inappropriate?Hi J-Dawg, maybe you could fake it with a paragraph control put on top of a semi-opaque canvas, like this?
<mockup version="1.0" skin="sketch" measuredW="532" measuredH="312">
<controls>
<control controlID="0" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::Canvas" x="301" y="84" w="130" h="180" measuredW="100" measuredH="70" zOrder="1" locked="false" isInGroup="-1">
<controlProperties>
<backgroundAlpha>0.75</backgroundAlpha>
</controlProperties>
</control>
<control controlID="1" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::Paragraph" x="309" y="93" w="113" h="156" measuredW="200" measuredH="140" zOrder="2" locked="false" isInGroup="-1">
<controlProperties>
<text>Item%201%0AItem%202%0A...</text>
</controlProperties>
</control>
<control controlID="2" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::Canvas" x="228" y="52" w="294" h="250" measuredW="100" measuredH="70" zOrder="0" locked="false" isInGroup="-1">
<controlProperties>
<color>16711680</color>
</controlProperties>
</control>
</controls>
</mockup>
I’m hoping that works!

Hi Peldi,
At the risk of sounding like a dumbbell, all I see in your reply is what looks like a block of (mockup) html code. I'll play in the app and see if I can't do (and understand) what you're suggesting. Thanks!

Hi J-Dawg, yes it is code. Copy it, then in Mockup you can paste in the "Import" dialog.

Inappropriate?Awesome!
Thanks Peldi...
(and I learned a little something about Import at the same time)
