Suggestion: Allow page background color to be changed without changing alpha value.

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

Sometimes you need to work on white paths or shapes while keeping background transparency when exporting the page, to this end, changing page background color is very useful as a working aid, but in order to see the change in background, the alpha channel needs to be set to 255, which means the background is exported in a bitmap.

It would be nice to have a way to set canvas background color without having to change the background alpha for bitmap exporting... or a sort of "transparency color" which right now is white.
