Body
I may have not been clear in my original question, but I think I figured it out on my own. What I was looking for turns out to be Surface's set_alpha() method, so all I had to do was make sure that translucent images were on their own surface. Here's an example with my stripped down code: <pre><code>import pygame, os.path from pygame.locals import * class TranslucentSprite(pygame.sprite.Sprite): def __init__(self): pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self, TranslucentSprite.container) self.image = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('data', 'image.bmp')) self.image = self.image.convert() self.image.set_colorkey(-1, RLEACCEL) self.rect = self.image.get_rect() self.rect.center = (320,240) def main(): pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640,480)) background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size()) background = background.convert() background.fill((250,250,250)) clock = pygame.time.Clock() transgroups = pygame.sprite.Group() TranslucentSprite.container = transgroups """Here's the Translucency Code""" transsurface = pygame.display.set_mode(screen.get_size()) transsurface = transsurface.convert(screen) transsurface.fill((255,0,255)) transsurface.set_colorkey((255,0,255)) transsurface.set_alpha(50) TranslucentSprite() while 1: clock.tick(60) for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == QUIT: return elif event.type == KEYDOWN and event.key == K_ESCAPE: return transgroups.draw(transsurface) screen.blit(background,(0,0)) screen.blit(transsurface,(0,0)) pygame.display.flip() if __name__ == '__main__' : main() </code></pre> Is this the best technique? It seems to be the most simple and straightforward.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
