Lighter node editor "grid" color by default
Today I launched blender 4.0 for the first time (I know, I'm a little behind) and when I opened the node editor the grid of grey dots I was used to was gone. Upon further inspection I noticed that the grid was still there, but the dots were EXTREMELY faint and small. Eventually after mentioning this change in the Blender Community discord server someone pointed out that you can change the color of this grid in the theme settings. This makes the grid way nicer and honestly better than the old one in my opinion. I know this seems unimportant but for people who have had lots of experience in older versions of blender this change can be pretty annoying. Also its a really simple fix.
Default grid in Blender 3.6
Default grid in Blender 4.0
Grid after editing the theme in Blender 4.0
As a fix for this I propose that the default grid color be changed to something lighter. I like hex #5E5E5E.

Are you sure you don't have a difference in customization or even display scale from your window manager / graphics driver?
That's what the default theme looks like in 4.0.0 and 4.0.2 on my side :
And that's a picture from the official documentation (and it's pretty zoomed out compared to my screenshots but I eyeball the points as same size compared to the node):
I prefer NO dots, sooooo.....
