Hi,

latest Photoshop 26.3

I have always gone with default guideline colours since pshop 4.1....cyan.

now when I move one it goes dark blue and against a dark background, its sort of vanishes.

Someone has meddled, as no one would want that to happen.

week 2 and everyday something else is broken that worked fine in CS6.

Just where do we fix this.

I get the feeling its a UIcolors.txt visit. as I had to, to recreate easy to read rulers.

am I right ?

and just what in there is the name of this pesky happening.,

active guides or something like that.

Yes, I know what you mean. If you move a path and stop, it turns dark blue. It does this on both black and white backgrounds.  It won't return to cyan untill you click away from the guide.  It does not respond to the Enter or Escape keys.  Sometimes they might appear to go Majenta, but I think that is Smart Guides popping up.

You can change the type and colour in the preferences.
