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

[DJ Delorie <799926@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

#ffffff is a no-no because it's too bright, just like the reason why
"white" wall paint isn't as bright as, say, titanium white paint.
Adjusting your monitor to be "comfortable" with solid white backgrounds
forces you to sacrifice dynamic range.  In the medical field, a "page
white" monitor has a *maximum* brightness - you do NOT want "maximum
contrast".

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.
