[Gimp-user] Navigation Window Zoom Preview

[HambaHambaHamba <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi I was wondering, when we have Display Navigation docked as one of our menus,
when we zoom in on our canvas, it doesn't zoom in the navigation, but it does
show a little preview... a square of how much, and where we have zoomed in on
the canvas. The square has white borders, and anything outside the area of the
zoom is darkened... almost barely visible. Although I don't mind the square, I
was wondering, is there a way to disable the darkened area... the area outside
of the zoom, so that only square zoom remains in the Display Navigation?

I want to record a speed painting video, and cause it's all speeded up, I wanna
have a little preview that doesn't constantly jumps in and of the whole canvas
(cause of zooming), hence the Display Navigation. But, at the same time, the
darkening of the 'out of the focus' area, also makes the preview of the whole
piece a bit... epilepsy educing. So, any tips on the removal of the darkened
area whilst zooming in the Display Navigation?

Thanx.
