MachPro Demo
« on: January 27, 2026, 05:37:05 AM »
Good Morning,
I am playing around with the MachPro Demo and I have to ask. Is there a designer out there who understands color and contrast? Why, oh WHY, does anyone think that greys on greys on off black makes for a readable screen? Off white(grey) text on a grey/black background just washes out for me and is difficult to work with in varying lighting conditions. The black text on a shaded grey blue background isn't much better. Just because it looks cool on a website or a word document doesn't make it correct for a machine control. Neither does the fact that some other machine controller does it this way.
Is it just because Microsoft started it?
Hopefully there will be some other, more useable screens in the future.

Step one, give up on Dark mode already. My shop is properly illuminated and dark mode is useless.

I will now get off of my soapbox and get some coffee.

Mike
 
We never have the time or money to do it right the first time, but we somehow manage to do it twice and then spend the money to get it right.
