I have been using pcbnew for a while and am pretty familiar with it. I cludged my keyboard and now all the PCB graphcs are “weird” - strange outlined text, vias are white rings and it is unworkable. It might be something to do with the mysterious ‘sketch mode’ but I cannot get it out of it. I have tried opening other older PCB designs and they show the same so I have messed up the software settings somehow. Restarting PC doesn’t help. I am desperate!!
Check these buttons on the left side panel
I don’t have some of those in my version, but playing with those I do have change the view a bit but doesn’t fix it.
Your kicad version seems quite old.
You’ll have to be more specific about what you think is wrong in that image.

Version 4? Maybe this helps… Pcb_new: What is a canvas? (default [legacy], open-gl [accelerated] and cairo [fallback]) Is there a difference?
eelik - that was it! I must have cludged F9 to get into a legacy canvas mode. Hitting F11 gets me back! the only ‘weird’ thing now is my edge cuts are outline only if you know how to fix that. qu1ck - thanks for your help, my ‘fixed’ image look like this …
You remind me that long time ago, when dinosaurs were still alive, something like this really existed.
I know, I thin kit’s for when no-one had GPUs??
