Re: [libreoffice-design] Option for gridline display in Calc (fdo#30800)

I like this one, but the wording is very important here, as we do not
have much space and I'd hate for users to have to click on the
combobox to read everything (realistically, it should be the easiest
to implement which still looks good).
The simplest options coming to my mind would be "Always show," "Show
when no background color is selected" (or "Show on transparent
background"[1] [2]) and "Hide."
(The wording of this one as it is currently in the wiki, is not very
logical, I think. By the way, are the screenshots in the wiki mock-ups
or do they work?)

The only page where it would fit topically is the Sheet page, yet this
one is already filled. I like the first one from Regina better (best,
actually).

[1] Is the background really transparent?
[2] or "Hide on colored backgrounds" or "Depend on background color,"
but I like neither of those very much. "Hide on..." doesn't convey the
idea that the grid is shown most of the time, "Depend..." doesn't
convey the idea of hiding and showing anything.
