I still think that this is important. I don't build NL levels; if others see potential problems with these ideas (outline instead of filled pink rectangle), please bring up those problems.
It's conceivable to draw the areas of only some gadgets as outline. When a gadget affects terrain (e.g., one-way arrows), you can, e.g., fully fill the matching terrain, and not paint the air. The important fix will be that huge water areas don't generate huge pink blobs that are hard on the eyes.
I'd like to prod WillLem to consider this. People activate these helper tools when they need to know the details, therefore you want maximally clear helpers.
