As far as I can recall (don’t have it open to verify) but it is on the layers pallatte, I think it is a little check box (hover mouse over it and a tooltip should tell you)

Yes, it is a little checkbox in the Layers Panel.

Above where your layers are shown there are 4 checkboxes. The Preserve Transparency one is the checkbox that contains the checked grid of 2 white blocks and 2 grey boxes.

Now… on another note. I noticed you post this same exact thing in the Random section. DON’T CROSSPOST!!! I deleted the thread in random since this subject really should be in here.

Oh, that is right, they changed it to no text boxes in 7 (and I use 7 too…lol).

Next to where it says lock:

There is a grid with 5 white blocks and 4 grey blocks.

Click on that.
