|
|
1453 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1454 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1455 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
|
|
1456 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |

1457 | opaque. |
