Is there some way to turn off and on a layer in PCBNew? The display
gets a bit cluttered at times and I don't really need to see component
values when doing the layout. It also makes it easier to see what the
final board will look like if I can selectively see only traces or
silkscreen. An overlying layer also at times interferes with the
editing of bottom copper.

Hi,

Go to menu "Preferences" | "Color" and turn OFF that you don't want to see !

Thanks, that worked. A bit silly of me, I kept looking
everywhere but there.
