 * Hi there, thanks a lot for this plugin, it’s so well done!
    I don’t know well
   if anyone has this problem but the plugin doesn’t want to let me write any rgba
   at all, it will transform it into a straight color #fff for instance. Dunno, 
   just doesn’t recognize it by the look of it. If you have any thoughts that would
   be awseome. Thanks again for this great plugin!!

 * This is a limitation of the Iris color picker (which is used by the WordPress
   core).
 * You can manually override the automatic value by clicking outside the input to
   hide the picker, then retype the rgba value, but it takes some finessing.
 * Definitely on the list of improvements.
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks for your kind answer.
    I’ve tried what you said but it doesn’t seems to
   like it (though I might do it wrongly but…) I ended up using a “no value” in 
   the input and overide straight up in the parent Theme. Not nice but no other 
   ways as it seems that anything you type in the Query/selector section is written
   for good (which can be a pain sometimes as even if you’re going to the file section
   and try to erase things straight on the child style.css sheet it wouldn’t let
   you ^^) Anyway, again thank you for this great plugin, any plugin outhere needs
   improvements and fixes here and there but hey, this one is badass already!! 🙂

 * As much as I hate to, I have enough requests for this that I am thinking about
   switching from using the WP core color picker to one that supports the alpha 
   channel.
 * Look for it in a later release.

 * maxero,
 * With the v1.7.5 release, CTC now uses Spectrum which supports rgba, hsla an named
   colors. We also added support for multiple fallback styles.
