Summary | 0016999: Baseline Grid too distracting | ||||
Description | Currently when enabling the baseline grid, two problems emerge: (1) The default lightGray used for the Baseline Grid, is too distinct from the white page, resulting in a very "busy" workfield. (2) The renderStackOrder has the Baseline Grid on top the the Content Object, which severely impact the legibility of rendered text. The (trivial) attached patch changes: (a) the lightGray color too a much lighter whitesmoke color. (b) moves the Baseline Grid down the renderStackOrder below Content Objects and the Margins. | ||||

a) While I agree that lightGray is a bit too visible, I think that QColorConstants::Svg::whitesmoke is hardly visible, I would prefer something a bit more noticeable b) This would hide the baseline grid in case text frame has a color background, so I am opposed to that change |
