Automagic Forum

When making widgets, it would be nice to be able to also set the transparency with a percentage. Currently you drag a slider to set it. The perfectionist inside me is having a hard time when I have to eye the slider position to make elements (and widget backgrounds) have the same level of transparency.

We have no percentage, since you can modify it directly at the alpha channel (opaqueness). Automagic use ARGB format : Alpha Red Green Blue. So the #ff00ff00 represent solid green color. By modifying the first byte to 80 >> #8000ff00, you are showing the green in 50% transparency. Just change the first byte to something you want, it is in hexdecimal base, so the range is from 0 (fully transparent) to 255 (fully opaque) or in hexdecimal is from 00 to ff. 0x80 = 128 in decimal; thus 50%.

Thanks for being all over the forum keeping an eye on questions like these, it's really appreciated! This will fix my transparency headache!
