[Gimp-user] Display Navigation Dimming

[Ryan Stark <effluxion googlemail com>]

Hi.

I'm using Gimp 2.7.3 on Linux.

The display navigation dockable dialog has everything outside the
highlighted area dimmed. If you have a dual monitor set up it is
useful to use the display navigation as a full image on the second
monitor while working on details on say (especially) a Cintiq which is
what I have. There is no option to change this dimming. In the
Git/gimp/app/widgets directory there is gimpnavigationview.c. In this
file there appears to be text controlling this appearance to do with
Cairo. It looks like the alpha value can be changed. Can anyone
confirm this? I may just recompile to test it. I think this should be
an option within the display navigator similar to the highlight
checkbox when making selections.
