BTW the background color used for stacks while dragging a control from the toolbar is supposedly the "Edition Color"
While I like the blue as "Edition Color" it is a little dark as background color.
Just wait until LC offers the "Black Edition"...

While testing the backgroundcolor of stacks when dragging a control from the toolbar I was again annoyed that when stacks overlap the target stack for the control (usually your frontmost stack = default stack) the background color only changes when you leave the rect of a partially overlapping stack although your mouse is within the rect of your default/target stack. That in my opinion is not the best user interface.
Since I work on a laptop the problem of overlapping stacks is not uncommon.

I had a look at it and made an enhancement request with a proposed fix.

Anyone adventurous enough could test the proposed patch by applying it temporarily to stack "revTools" to handler "on mouseDown"

Kind regards
