If I understood you correctly you offer to create a screenshot for me.
Attached is the standard example from booktabs package (probably it
will become more vegetarian friendly in a future version).
Here is a screenshot at the default 150% zoom. I think that the bold
line attracts too much the eye and is a hindrance for focusing on the
contents of the document (typical issue with bold in typography). YMMV.
Thanks. I think it looks good. I prefer it.
Attached is a comparison with a PDF output (one with, roughly, the same
table size and one with, roughly, the same font size).
I take it that the thicker first and second lines are just eye cady
while the thicker line(s) in between fulfill the more important function
of making it easier to distinguish between, for example, the head and
the foot of the table and the body.
Anyway, here are a couple of alternatives with some reason for it:
(1) Make all thicker lines the same width (2px).
Reason: The thicker first and second line are not confused with other
lines because of their special location.
(2) Have only the lines in between thick (2px).
Reason: The thicker first and second lines are only eye candy anyway.
(3) Have only the first and second line thick (2px), as in your first
version.
Reason: The thicker first and second lines are there only to indicate
that the table is formal/a booktab.
