Comment (by kcrisman):
I don't really care ''that'' much, but I do think that the drop-shadow
maybe shouldn't be a default. At least according to a lot of design stuff
I read at some point about the equivalent CSS thing in web pages. Do you
think a much lighter gray would work better? Maybe the white might not
distinguish enough between the stuff and the legend (sort of a random
box).
But ''really'' I think that the matplotlib defaults might be the wisest to
check, or see what competitor X does for some value(s) of X. Then it's
not so much bikeshedding as seeing what standard (if not to say best,
since it might not be best!) practice is. I'd be reluctant to change it
without at least a few people who use this fairly regularly saying
changing the default is a good idea - otherwise you can just change YOUR
defaults, if I recall correctly.
(Thanks for including the pics, by the way.)
