Or instead of trying to change how the ratsnests are displayed because they
are laying on top of each other, instead have the user hover over the
overlapping of nets and a popup appears showing what nets there are kind of
like a magnifying glass, would probably be better if this magnifying glass
is triggered by a key. Ctrl+mouse hover over the ratsnest and it shows what
nets are in the vicinity.
