Setting button for catalog overlays #203

Open lmichel opened 1 month ago

It would be useful to add a setting button (gear wheel) for the catalog overlays which would allow users to choose color/shape/size of the source markers.

Expected benefits:

Optimise the visibility upon the background, which can have any dominant color
Optimise the contrast between different overlays
Facilitate the evaluation of correlations between catalog sources with either image features or sources from other catalogs.
Avoid overlay between sources closed to each other

I fully support this request, I planned to add something similar to that:

in the regular Aladin lite UI.

This looks good to me.
