I am referring to both transparent and opaque stickers.
I am referring to their rear and side color, which sometimes extends to the front.
For transparent stickers, color 16 is needed there and currently officially allowed / required.
Using color 16 for that allows the user to set that color to many things he/she likes. That can be:
the color of the part behind the sticker, or some transparent special material or color or whatever else.
My request is to allow that same color 16 use for non-transparent stickers as well.
There are some on the Parts Tracker where the parts authors can not find a common consensus
to use either e.g. white or black for that background. It is a question of personal taste.
Some people want to mimic the white plastic sticker material, and also want to see that at the sticker sides,
some people want the sticker to better blend with the background and choose a completely custom color,
and some people want to use yet another color, because it predominantly occurs at the sticker pattern
(e.g. especially at its border).
This non-consensus for me is a clear indicator that using color 16 there would make all people happy.
Everybody can use the color he/she wants. And we already are using the same technique for parts.
I don't really understand why extending that technique to stickers should be a problem.
I hope I made myself clearer now -
best,
Steffen
