Since everyone's screens and eyes are different, and we read in differently lit environments, I'm curious to run a small experiment.

If you're willing, simply pick the % that is the lowest option which you still find legible.

Thanks for participating if you choose to, and no hard feelings if you don't :)

Basically, I'm interested in the level where a signature is readable (if people choose to) while also blending in to the background of the thread (and not shouting for attention if they don't).

10% although the portions in italics require a bit more concentration to read, their type is also thinner.
20% doesn't have that effect.

10% but it's not very nice to read so I'd probably go with 20 or 30. (Due to the focus needed, I mean. It's a little irritating to my eyes at 10%. The sig is cool though.)

With and without glasses 10%. I prefer reading the 20% over the 10%

I’m one of them weirdos that prefers everything brighter as I see it better - I struggle with dimmer stuff so give up.

With my glasses on: I can read the 100% stuff easy as (including the small writing) but I struggle with reading the smaller parts of the text with anything under 60% and even at 60% I had to enlarge the screen to clearly read the smaller text.

If I try hard I can read 10% but 20% was definitely easier to read for me.

This is very ’engineer’ of you, Zip! :embarassed:

So, in the interest of science: I can read all on my phone if I zoom in enough. I would say I can comfortably read 20 to 30%.
