An alpha value of 100% is clearly visible. But at 40% it looks too blurry. Is there a solution?


My Theme

<style name="SciChart_Alpha" parent="SciChart_BaseStyle">
    <item name="sciChartBackground">@drawable/sci_chart_alpha_bg</item>
    <item name="majorGridLinesColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="minorGridLineColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />

    Maybe the video has not uploaded correctly (suggest uploading to a third party service like YouTube, unlisted, then pasting into the forum post) as I cannot see the blurry artefact you’re talking about. Or, a before/after image would also be fine. Images can be uploaded to Imgur then included in the forum.

    I added an image before(non-alpha-color.png) and after(alpha-color.png) applying the alpha value. As you can see, in the image where the alpha value is applied, the value is displayed through the cursor. But don’t the line colors look too blurry?
