I used to draw purple boxes around them and/or use extra-bold lines, so maybe I'll implement that again.

Eventually I drew round the centre 9 x 9 grid in colour to make it stand out from the others and that helped. Still, there's nothing like something out of the ordinary to keep you on your toes!

However, I am in agreement that it is NOT elegant. I was doing the puzzle and I had to hit the brakes many times "Wait, that 3x3 zone is NOT a sudoku." It felt against the grain, especially when the same digit showed up twice during a row in one of those non-zones. I am going to try the new one and see if it feels better. I really like the layout.
