I have rags / towels covering at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the screen lids, and pour water over these and into the enclosure, I also use Eco-earth coco husk substrate to try and help with humidity. I dip my hand into any of their tanks and it feels like I've stuck it into a mini-sauna (best I could think of as a comparison, haha). I got valentine from a pet store and she's been in tanks her entire life, and she's big and healthy.
I'm pretty sure my success is by luck, but screen lids can work if you're willing to work with them. Although I've read a few tips on here I'm considering trying - wrapping parts of the screen mesh in plastic wrap (whatever that stuff is called, haha).

You're right, they can "work" with a little resourcefulness...but many new keepers lack the foresight or intuition to do so.
