Lock alpha channel, drag and drop colour of your choice.

That is, if your image actually has an alpha channel (transparency), because when i copy this image, the checkerboard is made of pixels.

You can also change the color of the Transparency blocks under Preferences > Display in the menu

Well actually it is visible when you export in a format that doesnt display transparency, BUT thats not how you make a background coloured.

I knew that, you got to pick a format like gif, png, or tiff for transparency.

GIF isn't quite as 'transparent" as the other two, the transparency is binary, it is more a here/not-here thing.

I don't work with GIFs much, prefer to use either jpgs, or png for the most part for my website graphics, and various fan-art I do.
