I argued myself to a standstill but should eventually do some more work on this. Its most likely there will be an explicit call to enable alpha for each feature rather than an alpha byte in every colour. > if I want to use alpha what would be the opaque value value (0 or 255) ? 0 is transparent and 255 is fully opaque. There may be an extra value 256 to mean opaque and don't use translucency code. > I ask that because I wonder if I could use that to specify background colors > for indicators, including specifying that I do not want those background (by > putting an alpha=transparent). Alpha will have to be implemented on a case by case basis. There are several things that could be meant by a transparent background for indicators: it could refer to shading the whole of each line's vertical range. For a dotted indicator, it could refer to the gaps between dots, etc. Neil _______________________________________________ Scintilla-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scintilla-interest
