ROW_HIGHLIGHTER: support RGBA value?

Pretty simple, would it be possible for ROW_HIGHLIGHTER in the TURBO userscript to support alpha for the chosen colour?

In certain circumstances, a bit of transparency could help by showing a bit of the original background/cell colours, e.g. the green of an Artist cell in the Tracklist tab when editing a release. Same for the Length cell when its grey due to a discid set for the release medium.

Thanks!

Well, the row highlighter is a very basic thing, it is not an overlay on the top of existing background, it replaces the original background, completely. If we would set opacity on it, it would not let the original colour appear.

I was thinking that may be the case. Since the "feature" tag has been added to the issue, I assume alpha values may by supported one day. Thanks for considering the idea.

Next time I have time for this, I will see if it would be simple or just too much work.

Hello @redactedscribe, I have allowed the use of rgba(…) in the ROW_HIGHLIGHTER settings. But, as I said, this is not a colour over the existing colour. The new colour replaces the initial colour. If it is semi-transparent, the background colour that is behind and to which it will blend is the page background, which is white. :)

But maybe ROW_HIGHLIGHTER will be integrated in MBS itself! See #705.
