Problem with visibility

Dear,
I am learning Fusion 360 for a school project, unfortunately in my home computer, I have problem to see sketches, they are too light.
Is someone can give me a trick how to change the color or opacity of these objects ?
Thank you.

All of the developers and testers at Autodesk have wonderful eyesight and love beige on beige color schemes

Try using either 'Infinity Pool' or 'Dark Sky' in the Environment.

Making barely visible objects bigger won't make them more visible I think someone should be filing Accessibility bugs for these color schemes. I don't think it's too much to ask for a higher contrast setting.

Just to let you know: We are fixing this problem just now. I can explain a bit about what happened, and what the solution is.

The problem we were trying solve is: If a design contains several visible sketches, and you are editing one of them, it is not clear what geometry is from the active sketch, and what is from other sketches. The solution to that problem was to dim sketch geometry that was not in an active sketch. The problem is: We took it one step too far. We dim the sketch even when you are not in sketch mode. So, the new solution will only dim sketch geometry when you are in sketch mode - the active sketch will be displayed in normal colors, and non-active sketch geometry will be displayed in a dimmed state. Once you get out of sketch mode, all sketch geometry will be normal.

Thanks for raising this concern.

How about making the dimming a user settable option? I find it extremely hard to see the dimmed objects and being able to toggle it on or off would make it much easier to select geometry from other sketches when I'm editing a sketch.

Has there been any update to this ?

As you can see - my sketch is barely visible.

Thank you
