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

[Steven Michalske <799926@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly, you are telling Kai that he does not want white, even
though he wrote a patch to get white.

On My mac I have pure white in most of Apple designed, Microsoft, and
even the backdrop for launchpad where I am typing this reply.

My preference is a dark backdrop with light gray text and medium
contrasty colors, but the key here is that this is my preference.

Any argument towards display brightness and this or that is that nothing
on a computer is even closet to titanium white in direct sunlight, or
mercury arc, or even phosphorus from the good old CRT days.

On further study,  todays monitors that have true color and bright
light, your looking at a $3000 monitor like a HP dream color, or NEC
color precision monitors that retail upwards of $6000.

For more time wasting, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/498698/white-
light-vs-black-dark-backgrounds-health-effects

Overall, it's all opinion!

I also bet that Kai has a default color temperature that is different
than both DJ and Peter, and different than my color calibrated monitors.
And in the evening I prefer a color temp of 4100K and in the day time I
prefer something on the order of 6500K.

See this nifty tool to change the color temp based on time of day.

To solve this issue Kai resubmit a patch to add a gschem-colormap-whitebg
Then white is not a NO-NO it is what the user loads.

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.
