Yes indeed it is. However exporting to those other formats is not
implemented yet.

Ah I misunderstood. This departs a bit from the WYSISWYG framework.
However you ask for something could be rather easily implemented by
interpreting the default color setting "transparent" from White to
whatever the color the user requests. Upon printing "transperent" would be
white again. I can see that this behaviour could easily be confusing
though. The user might think they have a blue background in their doc when
in fact it's just a different setting for "transparent".

I agree. I think perhaps it should be a checked item in the print dialog.

PS. I've got to fix printing now. It doesn't work with the new page
colours.
