Question

want thicker bounding box lines, too hard to see

I find with recent releases and particularly 21.x, that the light blue bounding box, especially when dashed, and especially when the document grid (light gray) is showing, and especially on my very high-res monitor, I have difficulty seeing precisely which frame is selected. A darker blue, or a thicker line, would fix this. I have searched the Preference but found no way to do either. Any help appreciated.

    A darker blue,

     

    You can change the color of the layer in Layer Options (right-click the layer) to a color that works better for you.

    Thanks! There are advantages to a large, high-resolution monitor, especially my ultrawide one (two pages side by side is great on it), but this is a disadvantage compared with my previous lower-resolution monitors. Leo, do you have any idea if making the line wider might be possible? I did try increasing the overall preference for scaling but that didn’t seem to make much difference so I went back to a lower level of upscaling (if that word means what I think it means). If not, I suspect I’ll put that in as a feature request. Thanks again!

    I don’t believe it’s possible.
