When double rendering, the background layer is hard-coded to be greyscale. But when hard-coded to have a different colormap (just by changing the line icolours_temp = 1 inside if (gotcontours .and. double_rendering), the transparency no longer works.
Related to this issue, it would be nice to have a prompt for the colourmap of the first layer in the double rendering menu, and automatically display the colourbar (maybe half-half on the right when in Hollywood mode).
