Description

Since commit de2cc5b, font_color for input-field and color for label now ignores alpha value, and text are always rendered fully opaque.

Doesn't really break any functionalities but it changes how my layout was configured to look.

How to reproduce

Use alpha value lower than 1 for font_color for input-field and/or color for label.

Previously the text would be rendered translucently, since the aforementioned commit it's now opaque.
