No black curves when set to black?

we always had this issue that a layer colour set to black made the shading white till you pull your slider ever so slightly away from black which was weird and unnecessary? but at least the curves were black, now in v9 not even the curves are black but the bold opposite white. i did not mind having the surfaces stay brighter in v8 and before, now i have to do this extra step for the curves either to get black curves when i have a black layer?

can we please have black geometry/curves when we set the layer to black? ideally dark grey with a little shading for surfaces similar to v8, i dont mind having a little darker but right now its just a confusing mess.

not seeing that here- I am seeing black wires in shaded mode (mac set to dark mode) in both v8 and the wip here on my mac.

can you post systeminfo please-

also is your shaded mode modified, if so can you reset to defaults?

you say “we” is this happening on more than one machine?

are you working from a template that may have been modified, or is this just a standard template you are using?

any other relevant details you can provide?

Hi

Read this, there is an option to switch black to white.

may be worth saving your settings and running the reset command.

I’m using default settings here and I get black lines.

the black white switch was a likely candidate, but if that is not working, I’d reset to defaults and start from there.

i just found out that this indeed fixed the issue, my background is a bit darker, i would not say black but it seems enough to switch the curve color. thank you!

i say we because the first part of my description regarding surfaces still happens in Rhino across all versions and platforms on a fresh install since as long as i know Rhino (15 years) meaning everyone using Rhino is affected by that. this issue is still not solved, one has to slightly go aside from pure RGB 000 something like 111 for the surfaces to become black. Discours is pretty full with posts about this issue.

yes thank you all good now!

ok, thanks for the clarification. I wanted to make sure you were not part of a design group where everyone saw this issue on multiple machines as that is a different diagnostic path than troubleshooting one specific problem on one specific machine.

happy to hear the black/white switch is working.

right, still hope that the part i described is going to be taken on some sunny day.

I added a thread with a specific request for the ability to display black as black.Request: Black surfaces as black in shaded, ghosted, x-ray display modes
