It seems that I'm no longer able to use the alpha/color element on sprites in the XML files.

Not a super huge deal, as I can work around it - just curious why this happened with the latest patch.

This means that instead of using the color tag "within" the sprite tag, I have to wrap it around the sprite instead.
 

Which means that this:

<sprite="Inline" color=#80e27eEE name="cs_health" tint=1>

...has to become this:

<#80e27eEE><sprite="Inline" name="cs_health" tint=1></color>

 

Any idea why that is, @BMac?
