<br>
When using the rgba(N,N,N,N) form only the first three numbers can be whole numbers in the range 0-255, or percentages indicated with % symbols, which I failed to do. The transparency number has to be in the range 0-1.<br>
<br>
So you would need something like the following, which also works. Tested in daily build and in release 0.92.<br>
<br>
rgba(20%,90%,90%,0.7)<br>
<br>
Sorry for the mistake -- I normally use the simpler form: 20,90,90,70<br>
