Theme/Walter - Alpha value ignored on windows?

While trying to hack-disable the display of the track number when track is not selected in a v6 theme, i realized that the windows just ignores the alpha value. In osx everything works as expected. The line trying to mod is: Code:

IIRC, sort of, its been a very long time but here is the vague reason that was somewhere in the back of my brain: the alpha is used in composition with the text field's code background colour (that you probably don't use), and that is a factor of how windows does text fields. Are you doing a default v6 mod? If so there are some other ways you could do it.

Yes its a bug, I've moved this back to the bug reports forum. Though the 'why' that I remembered was nonsense, I can confirm that text transparency doesn't work on windows and never has.

Yes, several ideas. because that bit is theme related.
