Strange. The edgelines show up very clearly on my system. I’m curious how
other people find them?
They’re set to something similar to dark grey.

See the difference between your instructions and those I created from the MPD:

My guess is that your LDView lpub setup has edge lines set to “always black”

I agree that dark gray would have worked better for these edge lines. I can
easily change “always back” in LDView to be “usually black”. I played around
with the settings a bit, and with r * 30 + g * 59 + b * 11 <= 3600 as my
threshold for switching the black edge lines to dark gray, I get the following:
Notice that there are some fairly dark colors that still have black edges, and
to my eye, they’re just light enough for the black edges to still have enough
contrast. The dark brown at the far end had black edges with a threshold of
3500, and that was not quite enough contrast. With 3600 the above looks good to
me. The real question is, should I change “Always black” in LDView to do
this. Thoughts?
I could add yet another setting, but I’d rather not do that. If I do make the
change, I’ll have it look for a color named “Dark Gray Edge”, and use that if
it’s found, so if someone really wants all black edges, they can add “Dark
Gray Edge” to their ldconfig.ldr file. (One new feature in LDView 4.0, is that
the “Always black” edges use the color named “Black Edge” if that’s present in
ldconfig.ldr.)

| (...) I always considered that "Always black" was unusable since dark colors were illegible. So for me the answer is yes. I would be tempted to push the threshold further: even if there is enough contrast on screen, it could be insufficient in (...) (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
