Diagonal Doors and Windows

The new doors and windows feature is amazing and I have a possible bug and a less important suggestion for it after testing them out. I hope this is the right place for it. The first is possibly a bug. I can move the doors and windows around freely without any grid snapping without the need of holding ALT, but when I move the line circles to align my door or window up with the rest of my dynamic lighting walls the circles always  snap to the corner of the grid, even when holding ALT. This is fine if my dynamic walls are perfectly horizontal, vertical or 45º diagonal, but when my walls are at a different angle, say door in the side of a circular tower, I can't get the door or window to align. So having the adjustment circles function with the no-snap ALT button would be amazing. The second thing is just a little suggestion but a tint feature for windows would be cool. Like how torches can colour an area, giving the window a colour tint could be nice. The third is a variant on both windows and doors. Having a transparent door would be nice as it could work as bars, and having an opaque window to work as curtains could be nice too. Maybe a DM IsTransparrent option along with the open close and secret could be a nice feature. A small quality of life thing too. The option popup for lock, open & secret always appears when clicking on them, even when I click and hold to drag it around meaning it blocks visibility.

I am not seeing the snapping behavior you are describing. Circle handles freely move unless I hold the shift key down, at which point they snap to grid intersections. I like the tint idea. It would be nice to optionally "see" that you are looking through a barrier. For transparent doors I use windows, and for opaque windows I use a door. The only feature they don't have in common is the hidden option. I color transparent doors with the window color and vice versa. You are suggesting hiding the popup while dragging? If that can be implemented it would be cool.
Hello. A few hours after making this post I found that the circles move freely. My assumption is it was my keyboard acting up and registering as if I was holding shift. And yes, hiding the popup when dragging.
