When you set the title, the content text is transparent.

private void setTitleText(CharSequence contentText) {
    if(this.mTitleTextView != null && !contentText.equals("")) {
        // THIS LINE SHOULD NOT EXIST
        this.mContentTextView.setAlpha(0.5F);
        this.mTitleTextView.setText(contentText);
    }
}

Why this code sets the mContextTextView alpha to 0.5?

MaterialShowcaseView.Builder builder = new MaterialShowcaseView.Builder(activity);
builder.setTarget(view);
builder.setTitleText(titleResource);
builder.setContentText(detailResource);
builder.setContentTextColor(android.R.color.white);
builder.setDismissText(R.string.showcase_got_it);
builder.setDismissOnTouch(false);
builder.setDelay(Constants.SHOWCASE_SHOW_DELAY);
builder.setMaskColour(ContextCompat.getColor(activity, R.color.primary_showcase));
builder.singleUse(singleUseId);

Setting the content text color does not solve the problem…

Yes, but the user can set this in setContentTextColor, setting a transparent color. As you said, it should be a choice and i didn’t like the way it was. =( When i set the content text color to WHITE, it was very bad to read, depending the colors you use as your background. Furthermore, i think its bad practice to change the contentText inside the setTitleText method. This is not clear to user. See my PR: #85

Agree that this should NOT exist in the library, but offloaded to the developer. Opacity should not change.
