Beta Build 29.6.173 Release Notes

Hello,

Latest Beta Build 29.6.173 is now available in CCD. We have below features in this build:

• Enhanced Contrast setting for better visibility:
  Illustrator’s interface now includes an option to enhance contrast across text and non-text elements, helping make the UI easier to read and navigate. This update supports a more comfortable experience for users who prefer higher contrast or have moderately low vision.

To enable this setting:
1. Go to Preferences
2. Navigate to the User Interface section
3. Check the "Enable high contrast" option

• Faster transform and clone operations:
  We're excited to announce our next performance enhancement for Illustrator Beta: significantly improved transform operations. Move, rotate, and scale functions now deliver noticeably smoother performance when working with vector objects.

• Accessibility in Illustrator:
  We have introduced over 90 fixes to make Illustrator more accessible to our users:

1. Enhanced usability of assistive technologies (screen readers and screen magnifier)
2. Improved keyboard navigation

We’d love to hear from you—please try out these features and share your feedback and observations.
