Description Tyson Tan 2018-03-22 03:19:24 UTC 
krita-4.1.0-pre-alpha-cc28a62-x86_64

The current default threshold for pixel grid start showing is 800%. However, after working intensively for a pixel art style game for more than a year now, I came to the conclusion that 800% is way too early. 800% is a sweet spot where I zoom out to see the whole design while each pixel is still big enough to be painted precisely. But the grid gets in the way here so I found myself changing this value every time after reinstalling an OS. 

From my experience, a value of 2400% is more appropriate. 

Since new users don't know where, or even if they can change this value at all, I suggest we change the default value to 2400% for better first impression and less fuss.

Maybe we should make this an option.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant, it's an option already.
