Can you please put an option on overlays to make the outline selected semi-transparent optional?
It distracts me a lot and takes the feeling of three-dimensionality away from the image, flattening it out in 2d. Also in edit mode it doesn’t happen and when you have several selected objects it doesn’t either.
My suggestion is to do something similar to 2.79 (image 4)
something like this clearer to see without semitransparency effects in the border line:
Mockup:
I actually like the transparent outline, but i agree that it can be a bit distracting in the current form - i would definitively make it a bit more transparent. Maybe the user should have a slider to set the transparency?
Edit mode should be consistent with it, and i think transparent outline might come in really handy in edit mode.
I think it doesn’t apply in your multi-object-select-image as there is no non-selected object in front of it - if blender would show all outlines of each selected object with each other, this would lead to a mess of orange lines… so better just show the outline of the combined selection (as if it was merged with a boolean-modifier)
That would be very helpful indeed. I do find it distracting as well, I guess it really depends on the user needs. As it is a new feature of Blender, having a slider in the preferences would definitely be a good addition in order to make the user more comfortable with the software.
