Aura Questions / Requests

There have been a couple of topics about auras, but they seem to have been lost in time.  Is there any plan to modify auras for the following effects: 1. Outline only 2. Opacity changes to Aura, as well as putting the aura below the token so the token is not clouded looking 3. A Tool to drop an Aura on a point in the map for uses as a targeting zone Thanks!
Outline aura is a nice idea. Opacity has been asked for and I would LOVE to have that capability. You could use a transparent png for that if you wanted.
#3.  I just did that... I smacked myself after I did it... i took the transparent .png (which is just a 70x70 px square with a 1 pixel border) called it small blast (or whatever) and put a 5 unit aura on it... copied it and put a 10 unit aura on it and called it medium blast...
I would also like to be able to play with Opacity on Tints... But I like this idea. My players had the bright idea to use aura for their torchlight... and yeah none of them liked it, it was too bright.
This is a great idea.    I think all three have great use, and can see myself using them. I like the idea of a stand alone aura; the solution was pretty smart, but not everyone is going to be able to, or even want to, do that.   It would be nice to have a spell/effect aura to place on the field. An aura attached to a turn counter would be nice as well.  Have it go off automatically (because I forget things) after a number of rounds have gone through initiative.  
Tanice - first time my players did torchlight, we used the aura, too. I hated it. Second time, I used the Dynamic Lighting system. It's worth the payment, in my opinion.
