White background not possible #292

There is no way to create an opaque white background in the appearance settings. The best you can do is a totally transparent light background. This is because moving "down" the spectrum of dark to light in any color is also the transparency control. Please separate transparency from color.

Ok, I figured out white. For others: the top slide bar is the darkness of the color and the bottom slide bar is opacity.

HOWEVER: there is still no way to choose grayscale and have control over the darkness and opacity of that. Developers, could you add black to the color wheel (or beside it) so greys with customizable opacity are an option? Thanks!!!

The Holo ColorPicker https://github.com/LarsWerkman/HoloColorPicker , used by our widget for years, confused many users, including myself :-) This is why I decided to change the Color Picker to the more intuitive one: https://github.com/martin-stone/hsv-alpha-color-picker-android As a bonus, we have:

color previews in settings
ability to reset any color to its default value (I fixed the bug in the picker martin-stone/hsv-alpha-color-picker-android#51)
manually set (copy) digital value of the color ...
