Box lines in Phoenix

Stormcrow · 09-08-2012, 02:34 PM

Is it possible to entirely remove the boxes around sections in Phoenix? I know how to get rid of the internal lines, but I don't see any option to remove the boxes entirely. I'd also like to get rid of the internal lines in the main statistics box.

If it isn't possible, consider this my official request. I find the boxes and lines to be very distracting; they add a lot of clutter.

They're pretty much the antithesis of clutter, actually. I suppose I could grant distracting though. :)

There's no option to be rid of them, but I have made note of your request for such an option. It probably shouldn't take too long to work in, once I have some free time to open Phoenix up.

Okay, I've taken a poke at this and I'm really not seeing the benefit. To make sure this is really what you want, here's an in-progress sample for you, or anyone else interested, to look at.

Comments (more/less/different lines, whatever)?

I think the benefit will become apparent, or at least more pronounced, when a full sheet is viewed. Zoomed in, lines aren't too bad.

I see the same problem with tables in documents produced by word processors. With lines they're more difficult to read.

Thanks for trying this out.
