grid lines really faint -- how to darken?
hey guys
im trying to find the setting in the pro tools 12 preferences where you can change the grid darkness from faint (barely visible) to darker (actually visible) ahah i have mocked up in photoshop what i am talking about. https://imgur.com/a/d3ale maybe this prob only affects mac retina displays? is there a setting you can change somewhere so the grid lines are able to be used by the naked eye? thanks |

Re: grid lines really faint -- how to darken?
I agree especially in warp mode.

Re: grid lines really faint -- how to darken?
They look fine here. Maybe futz with contrast and/or brightness on your monitor? I was having an issue with Melodyne looking like it had lost the grey separator colors and it turned out to be a simple adjustment of the screen to get it back

Yep, a PAIN!!! but... only on my iMacs 5k screen, on my LG 1080 screen, everything work as it should So, maybe grab a lower res screen to do your editing, worked for me

Re: grid lines really faint -- how to darken?
I had the same problem on my 5K iMac. Found a fix for everyone using a high res display by opening Pro Tools in "Low Resolution Mode" from Apple's support page:
"Opening apps in Low Resolution mode: If you notice that an app looks different than you expect on your Retina display, try opening the app using Low Resolution mode: 1. Quit the app if it's open. 2. In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu. 3. In the Applications folder that opens, click the app's icon so it's highlighted. 4. Choose Get Info from the File menu. 5. Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution" 6. Close the window and open the app again." This made the lines dark and editing to the grid much easier, especially in warp mode. |

And I'm pretty unhappy about the contrast/ visibility of the tools cursor in the Edit Window. The tool cursor is often impossible to see in that window. Actually can't believe that there are no program dedicated options to control this ... as, for an example, there is in Cubendo.

Re: grid lines really faint -- how to darken?
I am a new user but find too that the vertical bar ruler lines are very faint, too thin... But as i can read there is not a way to make them thicker or with more contrast (darker).. Shame.. Interface problems... way to go..
PS and anyone can tell me why there is a sort of duck image up in the header? This site looks quite .. well... yeah... |
