Bowing my head in shame, going back to gamma interpolated gradients
Frankengradients (linearly interpolated RGB, gamma interpolated alpha) look
fantastic but unfortunately create sligh compatibility issues. For instance,
a gradient from 0xffea1030 to 0x00ea1030 (opaque to alpha, with a single
color) blended on top of 0xff101010 would not look the same as a single
opaque gradient from 0xffea1030 to 0xff101010. The difference is hardly
noticeable on simple gradients but it could cause confusion amongst app
developers. Their life is hard enough as it is, let's be good to them.
My crusade against the gamma world is not over and one day I shall
be the victor. I am patience.
