Description

Flameshot offers a useful selection of colours for the tools provided. This would be much enhanced if an opacity level could be added to those colours.

Sometimes when you add an arrow or other annotation to a screenshot, something gets obscured. Being able to set opacity would ensure that this does not happen.

Thanks for the great app! I hope this suggestion helps make it even better.

Research direction
Examine the colour picker widget in the source code, understand the current colour model, and add an opacity slider or spinbox to adjust the alpha channel.
