My impression is that grey text sort of looks better on Retina screens. I haven't looked attentively at such screens for more than a quarter of an hour in the past so I wouldn't know. My belief is that most "designers" (whatever that is...) don't look at their creations after letting them go out into the wilderness.
I sometimes imagine making a "designer" read through a long HTML book set in 20pt #ddd-on-#fff Raleway with the lowest weight possible, on a crappy full-brighness laptop screen. He'd be bound to a chair with his eyed forced open and his direction fixed. Maybe then he'd learn to not torment people's eyes.
- msla 9y agoProfessional designers don't care about anything other than the latest Mac hardware. This has been true since the 1990s.
- gkya 9y agoThat's because professional designers are neither professional nor designers. How many of that folk actually have had any sorf of education at all on related topics? Graphic design is as old as civilisation and knowing how to do font-family colon Raleway and a bit more doesn't make you a designer. But somehow it gets you jobs, it seems to me.
