    At the moment, the area under a line in a stacked area chart uses the color of the line but presents it with a level of transparency. This means that the fill color doesn't match to the color presented in the key. Ideally, it would be good to be able to customize the level of transparency of the fill color.

    Indeed, I do miss this feature. Same for the Area Chart and for the Stacked Area Chart.

    Agreed, I am trying to put the Bar and Area (line with shading) together but the shaded area takes precedence and the bar goes in the background. It does make the shading feature unusable

    The lack of transparency control makes this visualization pretty much useless. Instead of displaying easy to see layers, you get a mishmash of colors and shaded areas.
