Great idea!

Since Swift 3, I tend to prefer with(alpha:) over withAlpha(_:)

That was helpful, thank you.

Tell me one thing Souvik da, suppose in my application, I have 10 screen and all the screen have same background color and I set it using storyBoard background color option, then how can I manage this if client say to change background color?
I want to change it in one place and effect will show to all 10 screen. Is it possible? I don't want go programatically.

I think you can do it by adding your custom color in assets. just google it.

Color assets are a solution for this but they are only available on iOS 11+ and macOS 10.13+ . To support older versions you will have to do it in code.
