Comment:

 Hmmm,

 OK - the issue now is that Maestro is great for advanced users but has
 maybe lost too much for the casual user.

 Now, if you have a specified colour it shows as the ARGB code - not so bad
 BUT importantly you have lost the UI for transparency and have to edit the
 first two characters in hex.  The old slider was obviously a better UI.

 I don't have the solution but want to raise the effect of this change on
 regular layers.
