Hey Seth, I tested this on gtk3 and MSW and the default highlight color was a bit too subtle. I didn't notice much of a difference between the Cairo and OpenGL canvases. I will definitely need to use a more noticeable color on my system. I don't know if it's just my video card/monitor

That was tried, but there were complaints that you then lose the differential colouring between different items. (And it makes selections look just like highlighting — and there’s enough confusion there already.) Cheers, Jeff. > On 5 Sep 2019, at 14:05, Jonatan Liljedahl wrote: > >

Personally, I'd much more prefer it like this (see attached screenshot) :) On Thu, Sep 5, 2019 at 2:07 PM Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > > I would prefer that we pick a more obvious color out of the box. Under > certain zoom conditions it's difficult to tell if anything is even > selected on gtk3.

I would prefer that we pick a more obvious color out of the box. Under certain zoom conditions it's difficult to tell if anything is even selected on gtk3. Users could make it more subtle if they find it too obnoxious. I think that would be better than a bug report about selection highlighting

Oh, that's right. We had been taking the color from system preferences but this did not show up correctly on schematic sheets that were not the system window color. Allowing for customization fixes this but the coloring is very light. It apparently looks correct on Mac but is very washed

The colour is in Preferences now; see if it’s just too washed out on your monitor. > On 4 Sep 2019, at 22:35, Seth Hillbrand wrote: > > I'm working on one (slowly) but it hasn't been pushed. GTK3 in the master > branch looks normal for me. > > Does it look the same in OpenGL and Cairo? > >

I'm working on one (slowly) but it hasn't been pushed. GTK3 in the master branch looks normal for me. Does it look the same in OpenGL and Cairo? _Seth On 2019-09-04 15:36, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: Was there a change recently to the selection highlighting in Eeschema? I can barely see any

@Seth, can you post a video or some screen-shots? Cairo and a Retina display are pretty much a non-starter. Cheers, Jeff. > On 1 Sep 2019, at 17:13, Eeli Kaikkonen wrote: > > For everone's information - there was user discussion in the forum: >
