Transparency in background of views in Appcelerator Titanium

Titanium supports the RGBA color space which means you can use transparent colors!

Eg. You want a black background with 50% transparency in your view, do this:

var viewWithTransparentBackground = Titanium.UI.createView({ backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.5)' });

A in RGBA stands for Alpha transparency and is a float from 0 - 1.0. More about RBGA at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_space
