Description kasasprigames 2017-11-04 21:28:35 UTC

Hello,
I've just noticed that the rulers and perspective grids are always on top of the drawings which can be a bit confusing especially if you use a lot of them.

A easy solution for this problem could be a simple transparency slider for these tools to make them less dominant on the canvas.

Another but more complicated solution could be a special layer for perspective grids, rulers and guidelines. This solution is used in some vector graphic and desktop publishing programs. The advantage of this is that it's possible to draw over the guidelines if you put a normal paint layer on top. You could also put them between some layers. So can have your guidelines over the background of your image but under some other layers you are currently working on. Also you can enable or disable the visibility of entire rulers/perspective grid groups with the layer manager.

Thanks for reporting! This should be easy to do, so I'm marking it as a junior job and confirming.

I just did a commit that added a color selector and an opacity slider for the assistants. It will be in Krita 4.0
