I have an image with backround color is RGB(45,45,45) and alpha=255.
When I set activity.Color=Colors.ARGB(255,45,45,45) and place the image on it I see a notable difference in color.
Is RGB(45,45,45) in a graphic software not the same RGB(45,45,45) as in emulator of B4A?
At the moment I'm not on my home desktop. But you can find the images with the game Pong I posted. The mentioned images are these for the digits i.e. 0.jpg
I see this difference. I don't know why it happens. I don't think that it is related to Basic4android.
A better solution is to use images with transparent background.
Note that you can also draw rotated text with a Canvas object.
