Appearance Setting Bug

In AE 2024.4.1 Settings (that incidentally opens a window entitled 'Preferences'), the option for Use Label Color for Layer Handles and Paths does not work for mask paths when it's deselected. The handles become grey but the mask path colour remains the colour of the layer, it doesn't turn to the neutral grey.

 

I do recall this setting working in previous versions of AE.

 

Doesn't help with a current project consisting of multiple coloured dashed strokes each with their layer colours matching the shape colour, the mask path is almost invisible.

 

This would seem to be an essential functionality bug that needs immediate attention?  😉

Thanks for writing in.

Looks like you have applied the stroke color. The color of the stroke is not controlled by the option in Preferences. It is only the color of the path. You can change the stroke color from the properties panel.

Let us know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions.

 

Thanks,
