I’m agree with StefanoZ about work tools and readibility but new generations use this kind of tools with this design and we must accept them. Right or not things are so made.
What we can do is try to find the best design possible but without going crazy.
Just a tip: do you remember old continuos paper for old dot matrix printers? The paper had rows of the same color but in different tone from odd to even. This was made for an easier read.
Is it possibile something like above but in a modern way?
Thin gray stripes introduced are good, I like them.
