Transparent stickers

[Alex Taylor]

The benefit of having colour 16 on the backside of the sticker is that the model builder have the choice, and can use it in any colour he/she wants. Some want it to be white, while others prefer a more "hidden" sticker and want to have the colour of the brick it is placed on.



Having the backside hardcoded in white would definitely trigger a lot of objections, I think.
Most of the Part+Sticker shortcuts have the sticker uncoloured. I would even say that a shortcut with a white coloured sticker should be Hold-voted. But I don't think we have that as a written rule somewhere.

I like this new, more transparent sticker colour. It gives a much more accurate rendering, even on a single coloured part. The colour of the brick should be the dominante colour, not the colour of the transparent sticker.
How would it look on a trans_clear window?

Yeah, I figured that would probably be the reason :-)

If we don't have a rule about shortcuts then we probably should; I've submitted a number recently where I've deliberately set the colour for the sticker to 15 as that's what makes sense to me.

This is the proposed colour on a colour-47 part:
