Yes, I'm getting 255 alpha all the time. In fact, the Windows XP color 
picker does not allow you to set transparency and when you set a color 
it comes back as an (R,G,B) tuple in the property editor. But when you 
save the file, or click on a different property and return to the color 
one it has the transparency added.

I'm guessing that I'm an unusual case and most developers are using a 
single machine or update all their machines to the same version. Is it 
worth trying to handle this in code, or should we just class it as a 
very-low-priority issue that awkward s*!ds like me have to work around 
manually?

Exactly what I did when I hit the issue - I only had 2 color properties 
in the resource file so I chopped the transparency element off the end.

Thanks for checking...
