## Problem

What is this proposal solving? Why does the problem matter? How does the problem affect the user?
Currently the drawing and marking tools in Flameshot only have one, non-customisable opacity setting. This current setting is bad for highlighting text because the Marker tool looks very pale. To compensate the user often has to highlight multiple times which is not convenient and time-consuming.

Here is a comparison of Flameshot's Marker tool with Microsoft's **Snip & Sketch** Highlighter tool:

### Black text on light background

**Flameshot:**

**Snip & Sketch:**

### White text on dark background

**Flameshot:**

**Snip & Sketch:**

## Anti-Goals

What is outside the scope of what the proposal is trying to solve?
The Marker tool does a very good job at keeping the text readable so this is not linked to this request.

## Solution

Describe your solution and how it’s going to solve the problem. This is likely the largest section of your proposal and might even include some high-level diagrams if you are proposing code changes. While all important aspects need to be covered, also keep in mind that shorter documents are more likely to be read.
Changes and Additions to Public Interfaces
**Add a way to control opacity, like an opacity slider in the Tool Settings.**

If you are proposing to add or modify public interfaces, those changes should be outlined here in detail.
Add an opacity slider under "Active thickness".

## Performance Impact

[Pr. Sunflower:] *I need help for this part.*

Do you anticipate the proposed changes to impact performance in any way? Are there plans to measure and/or mitigate the impact?


<br>

## Backwards Compatibility and Upgrade Path

[Pr. Sunflower:] *I need help for this part.*

Will the regular rolling upgrade process work with these changes?

How do the proposed changes impact backwards-compatibility? Are message or file formats changing?

Is there a need for a deprecation process to provide an upgrade path to users who will need to adjust their applications?
