Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Selection appearance options
To: Kevin Cozens <kevin@xxxxxxxxx>
Cc: <kicad-developers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


I think the screenshots show in what way this can improve visibility
and reduce clutter. The first screenshot is the current appearance,
which I find distracting.

Not sure what you mean regarding reducing color saturation, I don’t
see that happening here? Note this is eeschema, not pcbnew.

Yes, it works fine also for symbols with yellow-body-fill.
