Currently, you can't do this through the public, procedural
wrapper API, but it shouldn't be hard to do what you want using
the core C++ API.  The WE3_TextView::SetBackgroundColor()
accessor takes an ATSURGBAlphaColor parameter; by setting the
alpha component to 0.0 you can cause WASTE to paint a
transparent background, effectively leaving your existing
background intact.

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely

ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
