pomme27 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I know this must be obvious, but I'm not seeing it. When I click on File > New to start a new project, I select the iPad Air Retina preset. AffinityDesigner opens a white canvas, and I then select View > Show Grid. See images below. But I find it hard to see the grid, as it is gray-on-white. How do adjust the color or intensity of the grid? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted June 18, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Pomme27, We currently have no way of changing the intensity or colour of the grid. I'll get this post moved to the feature requests section, as it would be a good idea if we had a slider to alter the intensity of the grid and also the option to change the colour as well under the Preferences section of Affinity Designer.

NML Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 @uncle808us In the meantime, create a locked layer with a rectangle using a darker color for contrast: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackamus Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm getting round it by creating a locked layer as the bottom layer with a rectangle covering the page with a black fill and a 5% opacity applied. This will do the trick for now. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed! Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

jonaslismont Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hello, was this feature implemented? I'm working on titles with light colours with transparent background, so it is not visible on the default background grid for transparent background.
