Question

Is there a script to change layer colors within the layers palette in illustrator CS5?

For example I would like to make my images layer Green and my copy layer Red in my layers palette.

    In the layers palette whne you create multiple layers each layer is assigned a color by default. I'm looking to change the color for each layer using script. See attched screen grab. I want to change the colors of the layers within the layers palette.

    If you have a doc open then you can do this… It will look for a layer by name but you can change that to index or whatever…

    #target illustrator
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var lay, layCol;
    try {
              lay = doc.layers.getByName( 'Copy' );
              layCol = new RGBColor();
              layCol.red = 255;
              layCol.green = 0;
              layCol.blue = 255;
              lay.color = layCol
    } catch (e) {};
