How to change text frame box color

[Dominique5D98]

Hi.

Usually my default frame text box color is blue, but now it's yellow for some reason, which makes it really difficult to see against white, and I can not for the life of me figure out how to change it back.

actually it's for the rectangle frame tool and not the frame text box.

It sounds like what you are talking about is the color that frames have that depends on what layer they are on. If you double-click on the default layer you will get the Layer Options dialog box that has a pull-down menu for layer color. Choose that menu and pick a more pleaasing color to display your unstroked frames.

Lately they could not make indesign any more complicated. I've have almost a mental breakdown with the way this programs works, and I'm paying for it yet!!!  I had everything aligned only to wake up the next morning and to find eveything shifted. Then they put in these yellow squares, trying to help but only making me have to go look up what they are doing and find it's a big bunch of crap for something that was easy to figure out in the first place.

If you're having an issue with InDesign please start a new post with full details. This one is more than four years old and was answered quickly. OTOH, if you only came here to rant, I do hope you feel better.

As this discussion was asked and answered, I'm going to lock it.
