[scribus] transparent text box

[Bernd Holzum]

Hi,

I would like to have a text box in front of a picture. The text box should
have background color white but should be transparent to a certain degree
to let the picture shine through. But the text in the text box should
remain opaque black to be readable.
Putting transparency to the text box in the properties dialogue always lets
fade away the text along with the background color - or am I doing
something wrong?

Any ideas? Thank you.
