  • Bone Highlight Color when show bones is toggled off

I have constantly overlapping bones in a condensed area that are very hard to tell apart and select. (low resolution fingers)

I noticed that you can change the visual representation of the bone with colors. This would be very convenient, except I usually work with show bones toggled off. This is to see what I am working on without the other bones getting in the way. When hovering over bones to find them in this mode, their color renders useless.

Furthermore, it is still hard to see what bone i have hovered over when show bones is toggled on. And when it is selected, the teal color doesn't help much either.

Here is an example of the mess I am dealing with:
view bones toggled on:

view bones toggled off:

and just so you know what your looking at:

If either A: the bones highlighted in their respected color when view bones is toggled off or B: You can set a bone's highlight color, and select color, or C: in Settings, you can enable Colored Bone selection, and perhaps extra variables like highlight brightness/transparency when hovered over or selected. This would aid greatly in trying to differentiate different colored bones easily. And setting the transparency would allow you to see through your bone while editing it; which is incredibly important in low resolution.

Edit: I am aware I can turn down the editor scale. But I'm just noticing now that the latest update reset my settings.

1.8 should be a little better for small bones, as bone sizes are scaled based on the length.

FWIW, you can make your bones transparent by setting their bone color.

I've made it so the bone color shows on hover when bones are hidden. This makes some sense, since with bones hidden you'd otherwise never actually see the bone colors.

Selected bones should probably stay cyan for consistency

everything that is a selection is cyan.

Very nice i will look forward to seeing this!

& The reason for select color is because it is hard to keep track of what fingers are selected. When All Fingers are selected, it is still clear what finger is what. (would be) Cyan could be a default setting? Changed by the bone and/or enabled in the settings window? Just sayin this would make sense too; if given the option, the designer is responsible for his own actions. Also when show bones is toggled on, it is still clear what bone you have selected against all the other bones

And selection transparency would prevent the selection from blocking out whats behind it
