Try this script. It will draw a rectangle shape around the guide. Change the line width to what you want. It will center the shape on the guide.

 

#target photoshop 
var lineWidth = 6
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var doc = activeDocument
var g = doc.guides

for(var i=0;i<g.length;i++){
    var loc = g[i].coordinate.value

    if(g[i].direction == 'Direction.HORIZONTAL'){
        makeLine (loc-lineWidth/2, 0, loc+lineWidth/2, doc.width)        
        }
    else{
        makeLine (

This version of the script will allow you to use the color picker to set the line color. It will use the foreground color, if you want to just set the foreground color before hand and not use the picker, set the variable userColor to false.

#target photoshop 
var lineWidth = 6
var userColor = true;

if(userColor){
    app.showColorPicker()
    }

var cRed = foregroundColor.rgb.red;
var cGreen = foregroundColor.rgb.green;
var cBlue = foregroundColor.rgb.blue;

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.P

Here's a script that will break all the vertical lines at the gutters.

 

#target photoshop 
var lineWidth = 6
var userColor = false;

if(userColor){
    app.showColorPicker()
    }

var cRed = foregroundColor.rgb.red;
var cGreen = foregroundColor.rgb.green;
var cBlue = foregroundColor.rgb.blue;

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var doc = activeDocument
var g = doc.guides
var vertG = []
var horG = []
var coord = new Array();

That worked a treat for me. However, scripting isn't part of my tool set. Is there a way to apply a specified line color? I blush to admit I copied a line out of another script that will bring up the color picker —

 

 app.showColorPicker();

 

— but I can't get your script to actually use the chosen color.

(Apologies. Didn't mean to insert myself into this string.)

Yes it is possible to change the color, and even use the color picker. I would have to change the code for that. Or if you have a set color you want, you can edit the function that makes the line and enter in the rgb values.
