Hello,
Working with lot's of semi transparent objects I ran a serious problem. I can't select an object underlaying objects, bacause at this moment the object upper is selected.
I can use tab to switch objects, but working with 100 object, it is impossible.
So it would be nice a view "wireframe", with possibility border selecting.
It is useful anyhow, because finding a trasparent object can be a challenge sometimes.
--- Draft view would be nice too, because the work very-very slow with lots of semi-transparent / gradient objects.
--- And layers. It is absolut necessary. I know U are working on it, so it is just a sign on it.
Thanks, Aewyn

Wireframe view is in our plans, but not in the short term. Instead I just did what I wanted to do for a long time, hopefully it will help:
* Select Under: in Selector, clicking with Alt selects the object at cursor which is below (in z-order) the currently selected object at cursor; if the bottom object is selected, Alt+click again selects the top object. Thus, several Alt+clicks will cycle selection through the z-order stack at the click point. Combining Alt with Ctrl and Shift works, too. Note that on Linux, some window managers steal Alt+click, but Ctrl+Alt+click ("select under in groups") and Shift+Alt+click ("select under, add to selection") will still work.
And also as a helpful reminder,
* Pressing Alt, Ctrl, or Shift displays the function of these modifiers in the statusbar (only in Selector so far).
This is in CVS now.

Dear Bulia,
I give you all my tribute. I got it from CVS, and works well! Thank you very much!
If you need a designer, any html/css coding I'll stand for you!
Thanks again, Aewyn
