You probably use the "light background" style for the GUI. I too found
the default hardly visible on my monitors. This is not so much because
of dots versus lines. It is because dot colour is #7f7f7f, while minor
grid lines are #e8e8e8. This is pretty close to the #f0f0f0 grey of the
background.

I tweaked the colours a bit to make the grid more visible but not so
dark that it clashes with nets and components. While at it, I also
changed the background grey to white (#ffffff). About every application
on my gnome/xfce desktop works with plain white background by default.
E.g. inkscape, lyX, gedit, gimp, lodraw, you name it. The result was
clearly an improvement. I figured, other users might like it too. So I
compiled a patch and filed a bug report. The patch got rejected. I was
told to buy better hardware. And plain white background is bad form
according to what I was told in the bug discussion.

Anyway, you can use your own set of colours in gschem. Unfortunately,
there is no GUI way to achieve this. Locate the file=20
	gschem-colormap-lightbg
and copy it to some convenient place. I'd suggest
	$HOME/.gEDA/gschem-colors
Tweak the colour values to whatever suits you best. To let gschem
actually use this tweaked file, you can add this line to=20
	$HOME/.gEDA/gschemrc
/-----------------------
(load (build-path (getenv "HOME") ".gEDA" "gschem-colors"))
\------------------------

Next time you start gschem, it will come up with the localized colours.
Unfortunately, there is no similar way to add "gschem-colors" to the menu
of gschem. You'd have to tweak the source in various files and recompile.
Of course, can replace the file gschem-colormap-lightbg. But it will be
overwritten on the next update of the geda suite.=20

I attached the version of gschem-colors we use at IQO-Hannover.

Hope, this helps,
