Thicker Artboard Border After Illustrator Update (29.7.1)

[chris_4118]

I just did an update for Illustrator and the artboard box has a much thicker stroke/border. Any solutions to this? Its very distracting to have a thicker art board outline.

UX/UI Suggestion> Please dimm other artboards when the main artboard is selected. No border needed!

I concur. Thicker artboard board is clunky and distracting - never has a problem identifying active artboard before.

Has this ever been updated? I feel like I'm gonna lose it checking every artboard closely to make sure all my images are actually bleeding to the edges/any black strokes I DO add are correct in weight....when I was first forced to update and saw the black strokes on the artboard, I rolled back to the last version and that worked for awhile until it forced me to update again. Rolled back again and turned off automatic updates, but it somehow still forced it's way upon me. I can't escape the madness.

I completely agree with this. It's far too distracting.

Do Adobe test their software before rolling it out? This is not a feature; it's a bug—so please fix it. If you can’t do that, roll back to the previous version.

Is this an issue that only affects macOS and Retina Displays?

Hello guys,

I agree - the latest artboard edge line is way too thick and very distracting

The solutions coming up are to hide artboards, but I think Adobe should revert back to the old thickness of view
OR
Allow users to adjust that artboard edge thickeness themselves

my fix was just going back to the previous version of illustrator the unwanted thick border was instantly awful and and OCD wouldnt let it slide.
