gEDA-bug: [Bug 799926] Re: gschem grid barely visible with lightbg theme

[KaiMartin <799926@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any argument to back-up? 
The #ffffff was a no-no for a reason with cathode ray monitors. Full white pixels did extra blooming because of electrons of an intense beam repel each other. So you effectively lost resolution. But cathode rays are gone for good. LCDs do not bloom at all. You just loose valuable dB in maximum contrast and in maximum brightness, too.

Title:
  gschem grid barely visible with lightbg theme

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The grid lines of gschem are pretty low key with the current gschem-
  colormap-lightbg. This depends of course on the contrast and
  brightness settings of the monitor. However, grid lines are hardly
  visible on four of five TFT monitors I have access to, when settings
  are in default position. There is almost no difference visible between
  minor and major grid lines.

  Find attached a patch to the lightbg color profile for slightly more
  pronounced grid lines.
