Black screen ST7735 STM32

Hello,

i have used your library a few times in my projects and it works great. Now i have a ST7735 80x160 display and a STM32F070 microcontroller, using stm32duino, i have modified the example to the correct pins and the constructor + nano engine, but when i upload the code nothing is displayed. I thougt the problem was with hardware, but then i tried an adafruit example code and then the display started working, so the problem is with the library, i first used preprocessor #define to set the pin numbers but i got


error: narrowing conversion of '199' from 'int' to 'int8_t' {aka 'signed char'} [-Wnarrowing]
   80 |   #define PIN_A7      (PIN_A6 + 1)

note: in expansion of macro 'PIN_A7'
   25 | #define PA7                     PIN_A7

so then i defined them using uint8_t, after that it compiled. Could there be a problem related to that? maybe

Would really appreciate if i could get some tips to try solving this problem.
