Predefined color constants with alpha "255"

[Sicro]

Since the last release of PB we have now predefined color constants on linux, too.

Now, it would be good we have color constants with alpha channel, too.

Code: Select all

#Blue_Alpha  = -65536    ;RGBA(0, 0, 255, 255)
#Black_Alpha = -16777216 ;RGBA(0, 0, 0, 255)
; and so on

Very helpful since the Vector Drawing Lib requires RGBA() colors.
I prefer to prefix my color constants with 'a'.

Code: Select all

;- BLUE
#aBlue          = $FFFF0000   ; RGBA(0, 0, 255, 255)
#aBlueLightSky  = $FFFF0000   ; RGBA(135, 206, 250, 255)
#BlueDark       = $800000     ; RGB(0, 0, 128)
#aBlueDark      = $FF800000   ; RGBA(0, 0, 128, 255)
;- BROWN
#Brown          = $2A2AA5     ; RGB(165, 42, 42)
#aBrown         = $FF2A2AA5   ; RGBA(165, 42, 42, 255)

if they would add a simple #Alpha = -16777216 constant, then we could use it like this:

Color.l = #Blue | #Alpha

In general, it would be good if PB had consistent alpha channel support, not only for predefined constants.
