Is it important to stick with marching ants? Consider semi
transparent overlay window instead (what Finder does).

I'm now doing that as well, but this selection is for our magic wand tool, so it's possible for a transparent colored fill to not been seen as well in some areas if the colors are similar to the overlay color. In those cases, it's really nice to see an animated frame. A non-animated dashed frame can also be chosen by the user, but that can be very hard to see in other cases, like with very complex bitmaps. For all these reasons, I still want to support marching ants as an option.


All I want to know is if someone on the Quartz team that worked on dash stroking and patterned stroking could say offhand which is faster.
