Yeah, I'll be difficult too - it looks Bad now, very distracting. The 
legacy grid color was meant for use with a dot grid, not a line grid, so 
it has to be brighter. When you use it for a line grid, it's really 
garish.

I think that the grid color ought to be customizable like the layer 
colors - and unless we want to make separate legacy and GAL grid color 
options (which I really do not recommend), perhaps we should unify the 
grid types?
