Description

Without a numerical reference on the Opacity Slider, it's difficult to apply consistent choices across an entire site, it would be invaluable to be able to have an active element or some form of tooltip show the 0-100 value currently selected.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Research direction
The current opacity slider is in the main plugin file (jquery.minicolors.js). Look for the slider initialization and update logic. Implement a tooltip or active element that displays the current opacity value (0-100) as the user drags. Ensure the tooltip is positioned near the slider handle and updates in real time. Refer to the existing color picker tooltip implementation if present.
