Hi guys, When using display modes in layout it would be great to have a shadow density setting. Now we can alter the color only, and setting gray instead of black results in an odd image: [image] For my needs the color could be replaced entirely with a density slider, but I guess for some color…

[image] Jarek: The way I see it Display Mode setting would be a multiplier Yep, that was what was meant by “factored”… and I agree that’s the one that makes most sense…but when has that ever meant that’s what should be done :slight_smile: -J

[image] ec2638: In ‘another’ application, often I achieve the desired shadow intensity by changing the shadow color Then why don’t you do the same thing in Rhino? The whole point of this discussion is that simply changing the shadow color isn’t enough. -J

I think what he means is that a lighter color means less shadow in that app, not a light gray shadow as in my first picture. Like for lights, you can set intensity by using a dark color. I too expected less shadow when I sat the shadowcolor to a lighter gray, sothat’s why I think this is what he m…

Correct, Holo. As we both described - means to dial-in intensity. All I really meant to do was support the concept that more than one way to achieve the desired result is ok, imo. And, I find it helpful at times to have overall light intensity AND shadow intensity independently adjustable. If my …

@Holo , @Jarek ??? Thought for sure I’d hear something by now… -J

hi @Jeff , that works great and exactly as expected in terms of adjusting global shadow intensity via Display Mode setting. Thank you for adding this. If I was to get picky about the UI: Slider would be more practical, or at least the little up/down arrows by the number should respond to dragging f…

Wish: Displaymode shadow density, not only color
