The current BRouter-web hillshade implementation lacks resolution (2), and nowadays there are free offers like basemap.de Hillshade Layer for Germany which include LIDAR-Level Details (3).
For Custom Layers like these, a blend mode, especially multiply, would be hugely benefitial to improve map readability (5) - as adding a 50% transparent layer washes out the map below (4).
The multiply option graphical element could be added in multiple ways, for example:
A: a checkbox beside every custom overlay layer
B: in the add / edit custom layer page as a 4th column entry with a checkbox
C: the third column in the add / edit custom layer page could contain dropdown elements for each layer to chose between base layer, overlay layer or multiplied overlay layer
