Design Revisions
| Revision | Current Design | Issues | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Selection Mask Highlighting | Rectangle selection highlighting is on a few tools, and is not global | Knowing if there is an active selection can be an issue. Working without selection borders becomes difficult. Changing tools loses the selection highlighting. | Draw a shaded overlay that masks out unselected areas. Additional preference options for the shade alpha and colour |
| 2. Selection Borders | New Feature | No way to adjust the thickness or harshness of selection borders | Added preferences to adjust the selection border |
Benefits
These updates allow the user to work without selection borders, or with softer selection borders. With accurate selection area shading, knowing what content is editable becomes more intuitive.
