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

I do use use the BD Grid And snap to gridline and a spacing of 8.  8 pixels is exactly 1 Shift Arrow on the BD.  There are two ways to improve the readability of the boolean wire:

 

Set the contrast really really low I use @3%  (Hey, AQ!  Why oh why is the scale on the option 0-100, 0-20 would be better and a default of much lower would be nice)

 

Turn on show constant folding of wires and and have all your logic tautological- (not nearly as useful but, effective):smileylol:

 

Kudos!

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?
