Hi,
when I use the transformation panel to type in exact values it happens regularly that I overlook that the anchor point is set to a false position which I realize just after hitting return.
On my display the brighter color is more obvious than the bigger (grey) area.
So in my opinion it would be more obvious and better to:
1. not to have only a bigger area for the current anchor point (status quo) but also in the brighter color as it is now (and I do not know why, but always for the top left position)
2. don't tint the top left corner in white - it's only confusing and competing with the actual setting
My two cents,
Stefan.
