I can't set transparency of those new "Node tool mode" - it's possible for digitizing and identify tool. Currently all the time I digitize sth from rasters and wms's - that's why all my polygon layers have transparent background - and now it's useless to use Node tool as it appears sth on the screen. Maybe it wolud be better in case of polygons just to show "semitransparent red" outline?

Hi, please leave also feedback for the developer in the above commit page. Thanks.

Another argument against "red semitransparent background" - when I edit common boundary of two polygons (snapping options/enable topological editing) using Node tool now only one of them has that red background - so it's weird. Second thing - during editing if I move the feature I still see its old position as a red trace... it's on screencast:

@Giovanni Manghi

There 2 deferent issues:

• The geometry isn't updated when we move a point (simple example).

• We less see the background...

For the first one I can easily fix it, but the second one is more tricky, than what did I do?
Do I revert this commit ?

Hi Stéphane, good morning,

I just tested your changes in the latest master and I must say that I find everything ok.

I'm not sure what do you mean with "The geometry isn't updated when we move a point".
I see that when a node is moved it remains also a representation of the node before moving it. This is actually good, it is something that has been asked in this very same tracker as a feature request (because is how other gis software works...).

I also tried editing polygons with imagery under them, and the transparent red used to highlight the active one gave no problems at all to me.

I think we should keep by now things as they are and wait for feedback by more users.

Cheers!

I think the settings in Options > Digitizing > Rubberband) should apply to the node tool. Also it would be nice if it were like Map Tools > Identify > Highlight, where you can set a transparency value which applies only to the backgraund. If only for the shake of consistency.

Similar problem was discussed here:

Hi,

i think it depends on user specific settings or better requirements. One is fine with the actual semi transparent solution, the other one (like me) wants to digitize polygons with completely transparent background (or a small %) BUT with a clear, not transparent border.

I sugest to give the user the option! Which means that you should be able to set the colour for the rubberband AND the background colour individually.

Thanks and cheers

Will be fix with: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2490

Hi!

In qgis dev x64 rev. b10e708 it's still impossible to change color and transparency of Node Tool in settings/options/digitizing
