Hi Leonard,

I hope for playing around with more ideas here. Be creative!
Is it possible to implement a method that lets the end user (easily)
choose his selection color on the fly, i.e. every user has its own
preference and different objects might be visualised better with a
particular colour. Something like the "Area/Style Filling" but only
for the selection.
A selection color is already provided by the window manger theme (at
least on Windows). A per object selection color makes not much sense to
me, because you must now the selection color of an object to recognize
it as selected.
So You would be fine with e.g. the following: ...
I will look more closely to those scenarios.
Here I will append a difficult scenario, where the objects do overlap.
In this situation, some of the methods will fail. I will also show
another interesting method, which I personally prefer (method III, but
it has its own quirks). Especially for small objects, many methods
(including mine) will fail.
method I: solid/ dashed border
- advantage: should be easy to implement, as it is needed only to put
a border/ change the existing border of the objects/shapes.
method II: drop border/ shadow
- relatively easy to implement; not always as clearly what is selected
method III: arrows to selected objects; more complex
- one can more easily distinguish the boundaries of the objects
because they are NOT overlapped by borders or ghosted
Good points!
Regards Jörg
