Hi,

I've noticed Kodi uses the ARGB color format in their skinning engine. However, I'm having difficulty in finding a good resource for ARGB colors.

There's plenty of RGB color pickers around, but I couldn't find one with ARGB. So far I'm using the Microsoft site and a Kodi color thread for colors, but if anyone can point me in the direction of a good website with an ARGB color picker tool it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Try:

http://colorizer.org/
or
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs...icker_tool
or
a cool color picker that lets you customize - http://colorpicker.angelqm.com/

when using a color picker that has an alpha channel component you need to understand what the A in the #ARGB notation represents so you can convert the alpha value from the picker you choose properly.

ARGB and RGBA color space explained: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_space

In ARGB the A simply is the alpha value in hex of the percentage of the 8 bit min to max range. 0-255 decimal, 00 to FF hex, etc

example: An 80 hex value, which is 128 in decimal, represents a 50.2% alpha value because 128 is approximately 50.2% of the maximum value of 255 (FF hex)

Hope this helps!
