  * Area Fill (Rishabh/Heiko)
    * Aug-05
       + New section switcher
          + Try to replace the buttons by something different (Heiko)
       + Remove None from the available fill styles (now sections)
          + Pro: None means transparency of 100%, and now we just define a solid color (Heiko)
          + Con: Setting to a transparent color will cause problems when users which the fill type 
(Jay, Rishabh)
       + Transparency slider should be included in tab as transparency tab isnt always present in 
dialog (Jay)
          + Instead add transparency tab to all places its not - e.g. impress slide properties
