Description
Derive a way that psxy -Sqn:+g accepts a fill transparency on the +g option. This will improve readability of label text while maintaining visibility of underlaying details. Paul suggested in something like
+g[color]@[transparency_level]where
[transparency_level] is the opacity of the label background fill in percent.
The desired look is shown by the mockup on the left (would be something like +gwhite@60 ). Please observe the loss of details beneath in the example in the middle ( +gwhite ) and the label being difficult to read in the right example (no +g used).
This issue basically doubles my forum entry to keep all the feature requests in one place.

I've made the initial update to allow +g with transparency. However, it may not be exactly what you need yet since when +g is used the line is not clipped at all because the (so far opaque) paint cover things up anyway. With transparent fill you can see the line beneath. So I think one would consider fill with transparency "like" no fill in that clipping must be performed despite filling the box.
In r14132.

I think this is exactly what Kristof asked for, given the image he posted. And I agree with him. It makes most sense not to clip the background and show the line.

We have added transparency to the textbox fill and it should behave like your left-most example in the test image. In r14136 (and merged into 5.2). Please test and give feedback.

Thank you Paul for your quick implementation. I can test it late March earliest. My day-job is taking its toll. I'll report back to you.
All the best,
