Transparent Slicers are so Alpha

You can now include transparency in your Slicers! This will allow nice effects like floating buttons, drop shadows and semi-transparent title bars. Just produce your screen images with transparent regions, then slice ’em. It’s great for more closely simulating iOS 7 title bars.

If you’re not familiar with Slicers, read our original Slicers blog post.

Watch a demo of the updated Slicers feature.

We’ve made the slicer handle more precise too. Now when you drag one pixel on screen, the slicer moves one pixel relative to the original image. It’s much easier to position slicers precisely. An issue that caused slicers of odd number height to render incorrectly has also been fixed.
