If you set a canvas to be transparent and then add a sprite, you may notice that you loose the transparency. This bug has been reported and is being looked into. Best, ---

Hey @jared, I’m having this problem, too. Is there a timeline on a fix? I have a needle on a chart that will rotate to show barometric pressure. If you need any additional info, please let me know.

Hi @deanmachine, our team has flagged this as a bug and we did note that you are seeing the same issue too now. Would you be able to DM me your project link so that I can add it as an example of the sprite not working? Thanks! ---

Hi @conroy33, I removed that sprite from my project b/c it didn’t work and am using conditional images instead. But I’d like to add it back when it’s working properly. How can I get a heads up? ---
