Thanks for your work.

I'm bumping Charba from version 3.3-gwt to 5.1-gwt. After resolving the breaking changes, the app works fine but the area in the StackedAreaChart has no color anymore even if I call setBackgroundColor() on the dataset. Is it because it's not anymore the correct way to set the area color, or is it a bug? (I can open an issue in that case if you prefer).

Thank you.

@salmonb have a look to issue #69. because I think I found why you have that behavior.

[salmonb]

I confirm you found the reason. You can close the issue. Thank you very much!
