Hi Armin,
getting bigger handles is good. But I'm not convinced, that transparency
is good. Please try the handles in a presentation, which has a dark
background, like some master pages in our new set. LibreOffice has
handles with transparency and I noticed, that they cannot be seen so
good as the bright handles of AOO.
More helpful for exact positions than transparency would be snap
functions for handles and a tab in the size&position dialog for entering
values directly.
Especially the 3D handles are really nice and it is good that you show,
what can be done in Draw.
Kind regards
Regina

Hi List,
I took the time and started to look technically and bitmap'ally at the
handles and how to make them some nicer, but also more useful (aka
slightly transparent). For deeper information, please see the task
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121463) I have opened for
it.
I know handles and how they look is a question of taste; I tried to
carefully alter them and did not take away any existiong options (two
sets, two sizes to choose from, plus HighContrast). To take a look,
follow the link to find the things I changed and the bitmaps in the
files referenced there.
P.S.: I actually used Draw and it's 3D engine to create the handles
before scaling them down in a bitmap program, it's all in there :-)
