        * Aug-05
           + New section switcher

           + 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)
