Let us turn off Grid Lines, if we are not utilizing grid lines.

It’s generally distracting but even more so if you are at an weird angle.

I feel like I have Vertigo.

I think almost everything should be off-turnable, it would just be so much easier for the devs and the users too. Seems like the community is noticing this too- everyone wants to turn off some specific features - the easiest would be to make everything have a toggle.

I’m the one who turns grid lines off almost every time I start a new design. Just in case you don’t know this workaround: you can lock the grid to the smallest available size — it mimics the grid-off state.

On the iPad I use the grid, on the desktop I initially use grid during the sketch phase and turn if off later.

I like to toggle it on and off, by default Off on the Desktop and On on the iPad.

I think iPad is where it got me using the Grid.
