Why Espruino did not suppert rgba color?
It's very convenient for UI interface.

On which platform in particular?

On Bangle.js it's just not possible as it is unable to read back pixels that have been written to the display.

If you're creating something with Graphics.createArrayBuffer then yes you can read pixels back, and actually it's already done when drawing antialiased lines/polys/fonts.

So in that case, RGBA could be added. It's just not been worth the extra overhead (it might end up making normal draws slower) when I don't think it would get used much - it's extremely rare you have a device with enough RAM to store a decent size RGB image.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
