Yeah! That IS the problem with colors. You can adjust so many settings, that on
an other monitor it looks completely different. I am using WinXP with a ATI
Radeon 9250 and a TFT Benq monitor. So far I can see windows does not provide a
possibility to adjust the gamma value, but the ATI Catalyst software do. My
gamma is set to 1 and I can see the gray and the green bricks.
But in general I think that the edges should be visible, as I do want to see the
edges in my building instructions. The edgelines could be taken out by software
if needed. But I do not see this for MLCad for example as a benefit NOT to see
the edges quite clear.
Maybe the guys that are working on the color values should first calibrate their
systems. I just found a good side here:
http://www.simpelfilter.de/en/colorman/whitepoint.html and the best - all is
explained in german and english language.
I hope this helps.
