Hi Dino,
I’m torn on having a colour config for it. On the one hand it might help some
users who want to set a different colour, but on the other hand it won’t track
any system mode changes (such as dark mode on OSX).
The zoom level compensation was put in specifically to make things look better
as you zoomed in. But if it’s not working on other platforms it might be
retina-specific. I’ll probably just remove it altogether.
Cheers,
Jeff.
Hi jeff,
On my debian 9 (with a may be too old gnome 3.22.2), changing to a dark
theme does not change the schematic background but only the widgets
appearance (tool buttons, menus etc). May be this is related to the fact
that the schematic background is set by kicad in the preferences and on
gnome that setting is not overridden by the mode.
I tested it only on my system, I don't know how is handled in osx or win
(or even on latest gnome).
Zooming, the things looks better, as you say, but at the highest zoom
components and connections have a very thin line that visually gets lost.
Probably it is enough to increase a bit the width of the shadow
depending on the zoom. In the attachment I grabbed two different zooms
on a 1920x1080 pixels laptop screen (with the gnome "dark" theme called
"adwaita-dark"): At the highest zoom you hardly see which connection is
selected and which is not.
Using "accelerated graphics" or "Standard graphics" gave to me the same
results.
Cheers,
Dino.

Hi Jeff,
On Linux (debian) looks good (a kind of light blue) until you don't
select the same blue as background color, so this seems a good default, but
having it configurable in the color selection will help in that case
(consideried also that load/save of color schemes is coming soon).
A minor issue is that when I zoom a selected objects the shados are different
depending on objects: free text has a shadow width different from reference or
value fields of a component.
At higher zoom levels the highlight for components/references/value is thinner and much
less visible than the one for "free" text.
Ceers,
Dino.
