As you may know some time ago I had the idea of using shadow effects for highlighting of selected symbols in schematics. I put a picture on my page:
http://www.ssalewski.de/PetEd.html.en (Picture may be too large for the page, you may have to use something like "show picture" in your browser to get a clear view.) I am using shadow, lighter color and thicker lines when elements are selected or the mouse pointer hovers over it. The effect is additive, strongest result when pointer hovers over an already selected element. It looks fine when zoomed in, but unfortunately it is not very easy to find all selected elements when the display is small. The largest disadvantage is, that we are limited with useful colors. What I like is the clamping of lower linewidth, and the ability to move elements without the need of first selecting it.
