+1. why not make the highlighted area cover the actual layer , and not only below the layer. Something like this

maybe something like this

Now this to me looks like a good solution for everyone, am I right --err, does Mads have it right? :)

Mads first suggestion doesn't solve the problem that the marks are hardly visible when zoomed out.
The second one I find very confusing.

Perhaps an option to choose between highlighting a frame or a drawing/instance could be a solution?

Well, the second one has the mark delineating a single frame within the layer itself while delineating that frame's instances in the area below the layer. I suppose another variant would be to reverse that; have the instance colored on the layer itself and have just the frame showing its color below. Either way would solve the purpose for both sides of the issue.

Maybe not.
But I find the image marks easier to spot with this

And why not put the image maek on all of the layer and beneath?
I guess it is hard to program, else I guess the TVpaint developers would have done it all ready.
Is it possible to highlight image mark this way?

You are probably right

Maybe this would be the best solution.
But I think the way I made it in the first attached image would be better than it is now when highlighting single frame.

Yes, perhaps you're right... I'd have to see it and work with it to know if it's a practical solution, though.
It's kind of hard to judge from the mock-ups.
