Yes, that might be a bug in Silica and a side-effect of how TruncationMode.Fade is implemented. As a workaround, I made the color itself contain the opacity as alpha value in one of my apps: Label { text: ‘Some very long text….’ truncationMode: TruncationMode.Fade color: Theme.rgba(Theme.highlightColor, 0.5 /* = opacity */) } Of course, the first parameter to Theme.rgba() can be any color that you want, you are not limited to the color constants from the Theme.
