Workflow annotations became annoying

Dear KNIME,

I just recently found out that workflow annotations are no longer transparent. So you cannot use them to point users to an inner and an outer loop when e.g. nesting loops.

Is that to be expected?

Overall, the workflow annotation behavior did also become worse per my experience. E. g. now all the handles to change size are only “usable” if they are nowhere near a node.

The feature that they cannot be filled with color anymore is another thing.

Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

Hi @kowisoft

do you maybe have a before and after image for us, showing how you did use the transparent effect before, which is now no longer possible?
