Guides: change color?

[Fritz_H]

I ask for an option to change the color of the guides (guide-lines?) in Photo.
On some images the blue-ish guides are hard to see - for example when rotating/shearing/.... an image to correct converging lines etc.

Trying to be funny?
as your "very useful" Google-link shows, this has already been requested back in 2017 - and Serif still refuses to implement this.
What are they waiting for?!

very disappointing.

No, unfortunately it is sad if users do not know or do not want to respect the rules of the forum.
Alternatively, they can't find matching forum posts with same requests, which can be helped by the Google search link.

Since you found out thanks to this link that your request was requested quite a long time ago, and therefore that it may take a while to fulfill, it was probably quite useful for you, wasn't it? You're welcome.

Feature Requests, Suggestions & Ideas

If you have any suggestions about how to make our apps better, please post them here. We read every idea which is posted, and in fact since launching Affinity we have added 100s of new features and improvements based on customer feedback

Just a few things to bear in mind:

• Please search first, it may well be that you have a suggestion that others also want. If so add your feelings to their thread.
• If you cannot find your idea, make a new post. Try to keep your post as concise as possible, and for the title of your post to describe the request as best you can.
• Please just do one suggestion per thread. If your post title is “Here’s a few ideas to improve Affinity Publisher” you’ll be asked to split them up.
• Please understand we can’t possibly do everything which is requested, but we try to make the best calls we can in terms of prioritising our work. Constantly nagging or being overly ranty that we haven’t implemented one of your suggestions will not help your cause, and such posts will be deleted.

 

Emphasis mine.

1. I don´t care what you think Mr Teacher.
2. 2017! change color of guides is NOT NOT NOT NOT rocket-science.
3. BTW: did you notice that Serif "forgot" to lock opened files? = you can delete the file you are currently working on.. I EXPECT an urgent "panic, we are so sorry"-Fix for that major flaw.
But what did we get? Astrophotography - nonsense.

When providing suggestions and ideas this is work I do FREE OF CHARGE!
Therefore: I EXPCET them (=Serif) to be grateful for ANY suggestion NO MATTER HOW it is posted.

none of you is "forum-watchguard" or whatever.
Nobody asked or entitled you to judge my postings.

Yes.

Not sure if it is the message you wanted to send though.

@loukash was trying to point out that it is generally more effective to post to an existing feature request topic than to dilute the message by creating a new thread.

@Alfred

I agree with you in general, but in this case we are talking about a tiny change that was requested 4 years ago.
And all those postings to the old thread (which is 4 pages long in the meantime) did not help...

[amergin]

Another two years has passed and still no way of changing the guide colour? I think Fritz_H was right, these buried topics do absolutely nothing.

This thread, and many others relating to the V1 applications, were ‘archived’ by Serif when V2 came out (check the 'breadcrumbs' at the top of the page).

It is unlikely that Serif will respond to these old threads now.

However, since Serif are very much aware that some people would like to change the colour of the guides* they probably don’t need to be reminded by creating another thread elsewhere.

* This thread https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33920-change-guide-color/ was given an official ‘tag’ in January so it’s officially ‘logged in the system’ now. All we need to do is wait and see.
