[solved] Black Background

Post by timothywynnjones » Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:18 am

Dumb question: why do some users of QCAD prefer to work with a black rather than a white background - just curious. Tim

Hi,
"There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers."

Preferences, well ... :wink:

Personally, I find drawing on a black background less tiring for the eyes.
Colored entities and the grid are all easy to distinguish.

One can always change the Model Space background color:
Menu .. Edit .. Application Preferences (Ctrl+,) .. Graphics View .. Colors .. Graphics Color
And the same for the layout/paper/print background. See Drawing Preferences


Regards,
CVH
