Unless you make a ease and nice way of swathing (or alternating) colors, I'm
against it.
When you are painting (making a digital painting or painting on a mask...)
in the current version you just hit "X" to alternate between bg / fg colors.
Its just ease that way.

But I really like the bg color and the idea of "always transparent" new
layers.

Just my two cents. =)
Thanks for your efforts.
