I'm surprised you have the block diagram grid on. I created the grids and originally I left off the diagram grid. One customer and one internal LV dev wanted the diagram grid, and it was easy to render, so I added the options, but the vast majority of customers haven't liked it so it has remained turned off by default, and several times it has been discussed removing it.
With the diagram grid on, lots of wires are hard to read.
Having said all that... work on general readability of diagrams is making progress. The R&D team is aging just as much as our customers. 🙂
I am getting a new laptop with a 15" full 1080p screen. Hopefully I will still see the boolean wires, even when programming in glaring sunlight on the beach. 😄
Neither can I nor most other people, but the diagram grid has never helped me maintain it. Indeed, I see it more often forces things into unnatural alignments because nodes and terminals are not standard sizes. Thus my surprise at your success. But I'm pleased it works for you and this is a tangent from the main discussion.

Or the blue wires that are integers or the orange wires that are doubles... see... many people are color blind. Patterns are helpful. I would not advocate Booleans losing all pattern.
I have my grid on very dim, but do not use it for terminal alignment and I certainly don't snap to grid. I use it primarily to tell if my VI is in run mode or edit mode.
