Hello, I did some searches and found nothing, is there any type of mod or extension that makes the grid on FG darker? Im having trouble seeing it on lighter battlemaps.

Sorry im very new to FG and im not entirely sure how everything works yet.

I think this would be great for a wish list item, but I'm not sure where to find that thread. Didn't come up on a search for Wish List or Feature List.
Would be great to have a selectable 'contrast', either light or dark, for the map grid that you can change on the fly or at least on each image. I also have trouble seeing a grid on lighter colored maps. I like counting grids squares for movement instead of creating pointers all the time.

I'm sure you are aware but just in case...

If you have locked the tokens on the map and drag the token it gives you a white line with the distance on it. But, yes if you only want to see a distance without moving the token then a pointer will do the trick.

Oh, just in case you weren't aware, you can create a quick pointer just by holding down the left & right mouse buttons at the same time. If you combine it with ctrl, alt, or shift; you can change from a line to a circle, cone or square.

I had the same problem and i fixed it with the grid aligning tool.

A great tool for align the grid, when the fantasy grounds grid doesn't match wich the battlemap and you can use the tool to save a custom grid on the battlemap. The tool alows to choose color and width of the overlayed grid.
