Change gizmo transparency + global cage colour?

Playdo

- Is it possible to change the transparency of the gizmo (the cage of a deformer such as FFD, bend, twist)? I know how to change the colour.

- Is there a way to change the cage colour of meshsmooth globally? There is a colour picker box in the meshsmooth Local Control rollout, but this will change the colour for that object only. I want to change it for all objects.

Thanks

I've changed my viewport colour but can't see the text in the top left of the viewport now (where it says the view and shading). Is there a way to change the text colour?

Playdo

My sense of humour's better than that.

Cheers. Where is meshsmooth cage (global)?

Playdo

You've obviously got issues perna. If you want to go and vent your anger somewhere, go and do it elsewhere.

Playdo

To those interested - There doesn't seem to be a global setting for meshsmooth cage colour, so you'll need to change all existing objects individually.

I've come to expect negative comments from you, and I'm not referring only to my threads.

Hahah. You're both whacked!

Playdo, keep looking around, play with every color.

Some settings can be set at startup by saving a maxstart.max file in your Scenes folder, worth a try.

I think the cage colors have transparency control, just use a less saturated color.

Playdo

Cheers Eric. Pretty sure that there is no transparency control settings. Yep, I desaturated the colour.

You insulted me for having difficulty working something out, and then implied that I hadn't bothered. Whether it was an over reaction or not, I don't take lightly to it.

Does anyone know what they have put the control point colour for the FFD cage under? It's not linked to the meshsmooth cage vertex colour, which is why I was getting mixed up before.

FFD:

unselected control points = gizmo
unselected cage = gizmo
selected control points = selected gizmo

MESHSMOOTH:

unselected vertex ticks = vertex ticks
unselected cage = gizmo
selected vertex ticks= subselection

FFD does indeed use the exact same gizmo colors as Meshsmooth.

Not for the control points

I was trying to have one colour for the vertex/control point and one for the cage, also when unselected. It looks like the unselected FFD control points and cage colour can't be separated.
