Make Boolean Wires easier to see

Status: New

When the Grid is on it is difficult to see Boolean wired due to their 'dotted' appearance.

 

Change the Boolean wire from a dotted green line to a solid green line to improve visibility

This is one reason why I turn my grids off, but in observing your configuration the bolder lines definitely help!

 

I just bought my first set of glasses - less eye strain is definitely a plus.

If the wires were solid green, wouldn't it be harder to distinguish them from the blue-green wires that make up references?

Neither can I nor most other people, but the diagram grid has never helped me maintain it. Indeed, I see it more often forces things into unnatural alignments because nodes and terminals are not standard sizes. Thus my surprise at your success. But I'm pleased it works for you and this is a tangent from the main discussion.

Or the blue wires that are integers or the orange wires that are doubles... see... many people are color blind. Patterns are helpful. I would not advocate Booleans losing all pattern.

It's been easy to maintain, so it ain't going anywhere. Don't worry.

a) The default is set where 75% of the people I asked said they could see it usefully. I've tried to edit diagrams from people (possibly you personally) who use the lower contrast and I simply cannot see them at 3%.

 

b) There are people who like much darker lines. Having the 0 to 100 was easy. Why limit it?
