0x00123456 background is not transparent #118

Hi!

It seems that if set background-color-argb 0x00123456 (or else with zero alpha) background is still not transparent. Is it a bug or my misunderstanding?

Same here.

Version: v0.4.0-69-gbc24863

Does it work as soon as you use 01 for the alpha value? We've had a bug like this over at i3 after switching to cairo. The reason was a bug in the X server, if I remember correctly.

Same problem here. Version: v0.4.0 running on bspwm.

# ~/.config/yabar/yabar.conf
bar-list = ["topbar"];

topbar:{
    position: "top";    
    background-color-argb: 0x00FFFFFF;
}

This config results in a white bar which basically means the alpha part is discarded.
