Tokens Are Faded

Hey guys, hope someone can help me figure this out. On my newest map, all my tokens appear faded to me (GM) but not to the players. I have a Map layer, and then a GM layer that has a Map overlaid on top (so that I can see the numbers and markers but the players cannot).  But that doesn't seem to be the issue, since the tokens are still faded if I put them outside of the map.  Tokens appear faded whether on GM layer or Token layer.  Sending to front/back doesn't seem to do anything.

Actually, scratch part of that. The issue is definitely with the GM layer map.  If I put tokens outside of the map they appear unfaded.  Is there a way i can accomplish what I want without faded tokens?

I don't think this a bug, but a "feature". ;-P Anything on the GM layer is going to be opaque and will appear that way regardless of what layer you are on, even if you are on the GM layer.  I suppose this allows the GM to see everything. I often place text/notes and tokens along the margins of my maps to help readability. Here's a suggestion to support: Allow GMs to Control The opacity to the GM Layer

What I do for stuff like this is crop the required sections out and upload them as separate images to place on the gm layer if they are something complicated like a hidden passageway or I just use the text tool to write reference numbers on the gm layer.

Thanks for the tips guys.

While on the token layer you can still interact with the tokens even though they are below the 'cloud' of the GM layer, it's annoying at times but workable and only affects the GM who, lets face it generally has to suffer so that the players can get a better, more seamless, experience... not that they ever appreciate the effort we GM's go to *grumble grumble*. Would be great to have a keyboard shortcut that could toggle the GM layer on/off though wouldn't it... quick reference area anyone? (I smell a suggestion/post in an existing suggestion coming...)
