Being able to change the background color is great. It allows me to better design a diagrams for slides by matching the matching the background color of the presentation in Lucidchart. Except that it generally doesn’t.

I typically find that the background color of the slides I’m working with are dark grey or black, and in this case the grid lines in Lucidchart are completely hidden.

Please could you add support for changing the color of grid lines?

I have difficulties using the grid when working on a layer because they are dimmed out. Maybe this would also be improved with colored lines, or you could implement a “dim slider” too.

With how insanely simple this would be to implement, I’m SHOCKED it’s not already an existing setting.

It’s kind of surprising that this discussion started years ago and this still hasnt been updated. Is there any movement on being able to change the gridline color? It’s so faint I didnt even know there WERE gridlines. Please help!

Hi ​@TC C,

Thank you for responding in this thread. 

After checking with our product team, changing the color of grid lines isn't something we have planned on our roadmap right now. Our team's current focus is on how existing Lucid features can best support process mapping and diagramming use cases, rather than expanding customization options for canvas grid appearance.

We know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but we really appreciate the feedback — it helps us understand what matters to our users, and we'll keep it in mind as our roadmap evolves. Please don't hesitate to share other ideas or feedback in the community!
