      @tomekslesicki I'm not seeing a change in colour, I just see the opacity stacking up as you overlay one on top of the other.

      Will you be using LAF to draw your controls?

        @d-healey I might have understood this wrong but can’t you simply hide the solid coloured panel and show a 50% opacity panel when you click the button?

          Just change the hex alpha value of the backgroundgrey "manually"

            @Matt_SF I don't see a difference.

            @tomekslesicki's is on the left, yours is on the right

                Thanks guys, I'm getting the same problem with Matt's snippet, unfortunately.

                @d-healey maybe you're right about the opacity stack, but then if 1 is 100%, isn't it a bug that if a semi-transparent layer is overlayed on top of a layer that already is fully visible, the opacity can go above 100%?

                    Alright, either my monitor is not calibrated correctly or I'm getting blind, but I don't see any difference and this entire topic looks like a big prank to me :)

                    Can somebody make a clear example that shows the difference like night and day type (and not a colour that is 0xFF292929 but should be 0xFF292928.

                      @Christoph-Hart it's not about night and day, it's just that if it's about creating an impression of a half-opaque panel with controls, it doesn't look good if there's suddenly a rectangle overlaid on top of the panel.

                          Must be a monitor (or eyeball) setting issue :p the rectangle is subtle. I'll see if I can make a clearer example.

                              Ok here's something interesting.

                              Alpha values

                              0.1 = No rectangle
                              0.2 = No rectangle
                              0.3 = Rectangle
                              0.4 = No rectangle
                              0.5 = Rectangle
                              0.6 = No rectangle @tomekslesicki Maybe just use this value
                              0.7 = Rectangle
                              0.8 = No rectangle
                              0.9 = Rectangle

                              Here I have taken the same snippet as before and adjusted the contrast in an image editor

                              3dc29a29-5f8e-49e4-be9e-93cb1e27663c-image.png

                                  @tomekslesicki Ah finally - actually I think that the PNG compression of the screenshot makes the differences even more subtle, but now I have finally proof that you aren't executing an elaborated prank :)

                                  Alright, the minimal use case to demonstrate this issue is:

                                  const var Background = Content.getComponent("Background");
                                  
                                  const var backgroundgrey = 0xFF333333;
                                  
                                  Background.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
                                  {
                                  	g.fillAll(backgroundgrey);
                                  	g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(backgroundgrey, 0.6));
                                  	g.fillRect(this.getLocalBounds(50));
                                  });
                                  

                                  I've deliberately used a pure grey in order to rule out rounding errors. For me, 0.6 creates the most visible rectangle. Curiously, in a raw JUCE component, it doesn't show that rectangle, so I'll try to check where the error comes from.

                                    Nope, my weak eyes struck again, it's actually the same when using raw JUCE.

                                    auto grey = Colour(0xFF333333);
                                    
                                    g.fillAll(grey);
                                    g.setColour(grey.withAlpha(0.6f));
                                    g.fillRect(getLocalBounds().reduced(50));
                                    

                                    Also shows up that box. Now it gets complicated :)

                                      I've posted it in the JUCE forum, let's see how it goes.

                                      https://forum.juce.com/t/subtle-colour-error/52177

                                      I wouldn't hold my breath that there is an easy solution for this though...
