Hi there, so LED monitors are insanely bright so naturally we all reduce the brightness. However with Shapr 3D I can’t see the grid lines at all in Dark Mode.
Even with a screen brightener (Onscreen), still cant see grid lines.
Pretty much we need control over grid color/brightness levels. Brightness will let us see them, and color will allow us to make sure the grid lines do not become eye-burning bright.
Providing image:
If you can see grid lines in this image, it means you have a bright high-contrast monitor and your eyes can handle it. Everyone else who does tons of computer work can’t handle LED at mid-to-full brightness and so we use various dark modes to survive! I cannot see grid lines in either image on my monitor, nor with a screen brightener.
many thanks!
