some mobilecontrolprops do not work on Android?

[J. Landman Gay]

The backgroundColor and alpha settings might be a dictionary error. The opaque setting says it 
is available only for iOS.

I think the appearance of mobile players is set directly by the OS now, so the color and 
transparency may not be available on Android.
