I wanted to use the colour picker in Code view to create an rgba value. I knew the hexadecimal value, but not the rgb equivalent.
Hello David,
You can still do that. After you paste the hex value in code, press Ctrl+Space to invoke the color swatch.
In the swatch just toggle the RGBa button to get the rgba equivalent.
Let us know if this doesn't serve your purpose.
Thanks,
