Hi, I have just downloaded 5.3. I noticed that the colors seemed to be washed out in this version compared to V4.16. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Ed.
Go to Options > Set… and uncheck “Use alpha blending”.
Thanks, that helps the board view, but, appears to have no effect on the schematic. Regards, Ed.
It makes a difference if you’ve selected black background for layout and schematic. However, I never noticed washed out colors on the schematic view on white background. You probably still have 4.16, maybe take a screen shot of what you mean?
note the contrast between 4.16 and 5.3, Thanks Ed.
here is 4.16http://i35.tinypic.com/2hyj474.jpg
here is 5.3 http://i34.tinypic.com/1jt5dk.jpg
Note that 5.x uses a brand new drawing engine (based off of Qt4). Even though you posted messy JPEGs (PNGs would do better here), all I see is a slight “value” (in HSV) bump.
Have you compared the settings to make sure red is the same red (RGB value wise) in both views?
