transparent as a color

transparent should be a selectable color, either as foreground or background.

at the very least, I should be able to delete a selection, and the deleted selection should optionally make the selection transparent.

for some reason, I think with the plugins I have installed in 2.6.10 windows (don't know which one of the hundreds), toolbox properties is not being shown. the bottom half of the toolbox doesn't show all the useful properties and settings for fonts, brushes, colors, etc. and I can't seem to fix gimp except to remove *all* the plugins. Where can I find a help forum?

This is already done when your layer has an alpha channel. (Hint: right-click the layer, pick "add alpha channel".)

About using transparent colors to draw with, though, I definitely agree. Or at least I haven't been able to find this myself if the feature exists.

What would this even be? Surely one of the painting blending modes must accomplish what wo want, or even something as simple as reducing the opacity of the paint tool?
