Sounds like a lot of work to fix a minimal issue. It didn't take me any time at all to figure out you have to move to select things that are under the overlays.

About the only part of this that I agree with is the fade out makes it harder to tell where the line actually is, so it's a little odd the first time you see it; but there are so many other places that you have to move to select things, this one is on the bottom of my list of things to care about. The whole interface works this way.

A much bigger issue is the fact the flyouts all go out to the right, even for units that are already on the right edge of the screen. Put an Ogre in the right 1/4 of the screen and then try to select a component to see the issue.. you have to scroll your view (i.e., orient so the Ogre is in the middle of the screen) to be able to see the components.
