When building an `AnnotatedString` how do you specify an alpha span without specifying the color? `Color.Unspecified.copy(alpha = alpha)` doesn’t work. Note, I’m not building the `AnnotatedString` in a Composable, so I don’t have access to `LocalTextStyle`

BTW, I tried the other `SpanStyle` constructor that takes a `Brush` and `alpha` but that doesn’t seem to work (alpha ignored) when `Brush` is set to `null`. Judging by the docs, a non-null `Brush` is needed, but how to hack it for standard `Brush` behavior? Obviously, can’t use `SolidColor(color)` because I don’t have the color (and `Color.Unspecified`) doesn’t work there either.

Interesting. You could add string annotations to your text and apply the color later when you have access to a theme.

We don’t currently support configuring the alpha separately from the rest of the color. Feel free to file a feature request 

I created a new issue, but for some reason got this: `New issue created: 316188062 (view access not granted)`

Weird, that bug just says the description has been deleted

The only thing I did differently from normal was to select the “Create / In Same Component” button, so it’s possible that it’s related to that.

The component looked right. Idk what happened. Buganizer shmuganizer
