[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1205430, member: 82144"] Great. So do you intend to update the wiki as requested, or...? Sorry, I will not support this change because: [LIST=1] [*]It may change colouring for existing skins in unexpected ways. [B]If the skin designer previously used #AARRGGBB, that does not guarantee that they wanted the AARRGGBB colour[/B]. If they had wanted the AARRGGBB colour, they should have noticed that #AARRGGBB gave them black instead of AARRGGBB and fixed it. [*]In the existing colour handling, # in a named colour (eg. "White:#60") means "hexadecimal" and no # in a named colour (eg. "White:60") means decimal. Supporting a # prefix for any colour is confusing because it doesn't match the existing hexadecimal meaning. [*]In the wider skin engine, a # prefix is a define. Adding a # prefix for colours could introduce unexpected bugs. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
