Visibility of the edit Knobs
I'd like to suggest a feature to improve the visibility of the little grey round edit "Knobs" for local adjustments, graduated filters, radial filters, as well as the cloning/healing brush.
I'm on a 27" iMac with a 5K display and I *am* wearing my reading glasses but nevertheless, on many of my more detail-rich images, I find it hard to locate them (I use local adjustments a lot so there may be plenty).
The middle grey they're using now is probably the worst color - if they were bright white, red, green, blue, whatever, it would be much easier to locate them (and when their visibility is set to "Auto" it would still be possible to quickly hide them by dragging the mouse away from the image area).
I could imagine that a way to cycle through the colors of the knobs itself, similar to how it's possible to cycle through the overlay with Shift-O, would be very helpful.
Thanks for considering it.

I replaced my 27" 5K with two 4k monitors: 27 and 32 for a much more satisfying Lightroom experience. It works well on the 27 and great on the 32. The only thing that I miss is the 99% Adobe RGB of the 5K vs 99% sRGB of the two 4K. But the 99% Adobe RGB monitor was twice the price.

Currently, there's no easy way to see what adjustments have been applied when going back to an old image or an image someone else edited. You have to go to each develop tool and scan the image for any adjustment pins. Doable, but a pain.
Having a view with all the pins displayed at once would allow you to identify where edits have been made very quickly. If the color, shape or hover over of the pins gave an indication of what tool had been used and/or clicking on a pin took you to the specific tool itself, all the better.
