DefaultFastenerColor is 100 % transparent.

[berberic2]

If DefaultFastenerColor is set in the preferences, the created screw has the property Transparency set to 100 %. Only the lines are visible.

The problem is that FSParam.GetUnsigned("DefaultFastenerColor", 0xcccccc00) returns a value with the lowest 8 bits set to 1 (0x??????FF), so having an alpha Value of 0xFF. It is not possible to set the alpha-value in the color-selection-dialog.

workaround:

Wow this is so strange. An alpha value of 0xFF should be fully opaque (in all standards that I know of) why is it opposite in freecad?

[berberic2]

I have DefaultFastenerColorActive set since at least June and I’m quite sure it worked until recently. DefaultFastenerColor had a value of 0xE6E6FAFF then (in user.cfg).

I KNOW it used to work before. So something must have changed. Anyway at least your change seems to be backward compatible

[maxwxyz]

is this issue still relevant with the changes in main?
