Writing RGBA code?

[Adendum]

Hi Support,

I'm working on a new extension called Orbit Slider and in one section I want to write some CSS code as follows:-

background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);

I can't find a method in the extension builder that allows this to be done simply. So as a temporary solution I have had to use an XML template and have the end user specify each parameter separately. So they manually select red and enter a value from 0 to 255, the same for green and blue plus a pull down option for the opacity. It works but it cumbersome.

Can you either suggest a better way to achieve this or consider an update that will provide an rgba Type in the Edit Properties box?

I'm sorry at this moment rgba is not supported.
And as far I know there does not (yet) exist a color picker which supports color with alpha values.

Hi,

I did a search for rgba color pickers and found a couple of things - maybe you can use these somehow?

Thanks for the links.
Keep in mind however that this will not be an easy modification so it may take a while

Hi,

Of course - make it for the next release of Extension Builder.

Do you have a list of enhancements/changes you are planning for the next version? Would be interesting to see the list

No, there is no official list yet. However if you keep an eye in this forum then you will be the first to know
