Or instead of trying to change how the ratsnests are displayed because they are laying on top of each other, instead have the user hover over the overlapping of nets and a popup appears showing what nets there are kind of like a magnifying glass, would probably be better if this magnifying glass is triggered by a key. Ctrl+mouse hover over the ratsnest and it shows what nets are in the vicinity.
