[suggestion] Make color of lasso tool user-selectable

[anonymous]

Hello,

This is a suggestion, not a bug.

The color of the lasso tool (white) is fine with the default (black) background, but is barely legible when using a map.

I suggest making it possible to change its color.

Cheers,

You can make a layer darker which could help.
