Random Bolder Lines

[gely50]

Has anyone noticed that the grid lines seem to have bold lines on more than just the outer boxes ?
I play 10 -20 games a day and today it was very distracting. Is this a puzzlebaron problem or somehow my display?
Thanks.

I noticed. It does make things a little more challenging

i noticed this as well, it really messes with\hurts my eyes

Yep. It hurts my eyes so much I can no longer play.

agreed, please fix. Thank you Stephen!

Same here. I use Firefox. I tried it on Edge & it looks the same.

On chrome, zooming to 110% by hitting cmd + (on Mac, probably ctrl + on Windows) helps.

Apologies for that - it should be fixed now.

Thank you

[whichwitch]

Much better - thank you.

Almost. Up to 4x4 are fixed.
4x5 has 3 extra horizontal and 1 extra vertical bold.
4x6 has 1 extra horizontal and 1 extra vertical bold.
4x7 has 2 extra horizontal and 2 extra vertical bold.
Sorry to be a pain.

I'm glad others noticed this, I honestly couldn't decide if it had always been that way and I was just going nuts lol

My mistake! The extra bold lines are there only when my screen is larger (ctrl +). I did this on advice above. Upon returning to normal zoom NO extra bold lines on any size grid.
Thank you.

Grid lines at normal (100%) zoom level should be working properly now. I am aware there is an ongoing issue with grid lines appearing a little wonky at lower and higher zoom levels on non-retina screens- I don't yet have a fix for this but am working on one. It is caused because having a zoom level other than 100% causes single pixels to become fractionalized, and non-retina browsers don't handle pixel fractions well (they will make some of them 1 pixel, and some of them 2 pixels, to even each other out).

For now, if you are seeing uneven lines on the board, make sure your browser zoom is set to 100% only - you can reset the browser zoom by holding CTRL and 0 (zero) at the same time on a Window machine, or the Mac Function key and 0 (zero) on a Mac. If that still doesn't work, you may have a global zoom level set via your computer system's settings, and that can cause the same problem.

I do intend to find a fix for this but it will likely involve a complete rebuild of the game board, and will take some time to complete.

I think the bolder lines on zoomed in pages are jarring because their weight becomes similar to the lines of the larger subdivisions. Lightening the color of the single pixel lines in the grid alleviates this somewhat. Even when a select few of those lines double in thickness, they are still not visually heavy enough to compete with the black lines of the subdivisions. Zooming in is comfier.

.gridlineh {
height: 1px;
