Anchor color--can we change it independently or give more options for visibility?

I'd like to be able to change the anchor color of the layer to be different than the path. Or at least be able to change it from white which I can't see half the time.

I uploaded an example of what I would like. 'cause I can't see the anchors with white and a tiny 1px outline on my screen. This makes manipulating the handles really difficult. But if I could change the anchor color/handle point color, it would be much easier to see than white on white with a tiny 1 pixel.

What I did was match the path and then added a 1 pixel white outline which is much more visible at a distance if you test it out.

The anchors and paths in white is a running issue. Are you perhaps working in overprint preview or pixel preview?

It's easy enough to change the layer color for how selected object outlines, anchor points and direction handles are displayed. Just double click the layer in the Layers palette. The color can be changed to something different than line strokes applied to artwork. I must be missing something about anchors (or anchor points) being colored white. Those elements usually inherit the layer color when the object is selected. The size of anchor points and direction handle points can be changed in preferences to be larger and more legible on higher resolution displays. There isn't a setting to make anchor points and direction points a different color than the visible outline over the path of a selected object.

I posted images to display the difference and what I'm requesting.

As Bobby has mention above you can only change layer object color and handle style or size. Its not possible change anchor colors only, unfortunately.
