How to Remove Gridlines from Projects

Hi Alli, I don't know if dark modes help with dyslexia but I submitted an Idea for a dark mode feature. If you think it will be helpful you, feel free to upvote the idea. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004VwsAAE/detail Mohini Sinha, CSM Project Coordinator Excelsior College

Hi Lilit, I just want to say our team likes the grid lines but everyone agrees there is too much padding. Grid lines should allow items to be more tightly packed but instead it seems they added space instead of saving it. Aileen Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

Mixed bag here: I could see removing the vertical gridlines only. I like them, but it would reduce the clutter. Or in the same vein, I could see removing just the horizontal gridlines, same idea. I agree there is too much padding in each "cell"; could be a couple of pixels tighter and get no complaints from me. Being able to change the color of the grid lines would be a plus. I mean, in an ideal world I'd like the ability to determine, color, and padding myself. For example, keep the grid but allow me to make the grey even lighter (or use our corporate light blue) and make the grid really tight (more like ruled paper) so we don't sacrifice the ability to get alot of data on the screen. Probably a pie-in-the-sky wish, but I can wish it anyway. ;-) Kevin Quosig

I like the gridlines. I was training a new person last week before we had them and she kept clicking in the wrong spot on the right side of the screen because she had trouble tracking from left to right. The gridlines solve that problem.

I love the gridlines. It makes it much easier to find everything quickly and looking across at multiple columns is easier now as well.

We don't mind the horizontal lines... the vertical lines are our issue. Like others have said, more noise and more scrolling for the projects with many tasks. It would be nice if there was a view option that each user could decide for themselves. If not that, then at least a setting that can turn lines off (whether all or just 1 or the other).

As someone with dyslexia, pure white backgrounds make it very difficult to read text without some sort of border so I definitely appreciate the addition of the gridlines. I can understand the desire to disable this function but I would recommend making it optional (per user) since the gridlines really do help with accessibility. Alli Pearson

Hey, all, Thanks for the feedback on this. At the moment we don't have a way to remove or change the color of gridlines, but I will take your feedback to our UX team for consideration. Thank you again! Lilit Lilit Mkrtchyan Workfront

Hi Lilit, My colleagues and I also don't like the gridlines, as it makes the screen look more busy and we didn't feel like before it was difficult to keep overview of the information within one line. So we would also like to remove these lines and go back to the nice and clean overview we had. Is there an option to choose the line colour or something, so people who want lines can choose a line colour and people who don't want it, choose white lines and therefore they disappear?

I personally am OK with the gridlines, but I don't like the extra white space that has been added. It does make fewer lines fit on the one page, meaning more scrolling for users.....when they're dealing with large project plans this adds extra work and delay. David Cornwell
