BorderColor settings ini file

What does the number 192 at the end mean?

BorderColor=#0423ee,ttl,6,192

I know the other numbers meaning but this one, it's new for me.

The number 192 at the end is the alpha (transparency) value for the border. It’s on a 0–255 scale where:

• 0 = fully invisible (completely transparent)
• 255 = fully solid (no transparency)
• 192 ≈ 75% opaque (about 25% see-through)

So for BorderColor=#0423ee,ttl,6,192:

• #0423ee = border color (blue)
• ttl = show the border only when the mouse is over the title bar
• 6 = border width in pixels
• 192 = the border’s opacity (about 75% opaque)

If you omit the fourth value the code defaults to 192. Use a lower number to make the border more see-through (e.g., 128 ≈ 50% opaque) or 255 to make it completely solid.

Performance note: A fully solid border (alpha = 255) avoids extra transparency compositing and is less likely to affect FPS. Transparent borders (alpha < 255) require additional compositing and on some systems or GPUs may cause a small drop in frame rate when the border is visible, and can cause higher CPU/GPU usage while watching videos.

I think this is ver important to consider when one use a low specs computer.
