Change guide colour defaults back to blue

[StuartRc]

Like it!.. when you change the colour of the margins through in the doc set up:

The colour changes on the margin but if you go back to the Doc Panel it defaults back to blue even though it is visibly different on doc...I think! ...might be wrong! or colour blind!😀

I tried this with Publisher and found that if I set the colour of the margin in Master Pages, the color sticks.  Otherwise you are right, it is back to blue on the next page.

I've split your comments into a seperate thread so your issue can be discussed further. 

We've not been able to replicate this here, can you send a screen recording of this behaviour in action?

Here you are.  Hope this helps!

What you've done is on Page 1 overridden the margin colour for that one spread. You might need to do this if, for example, that page has a coloured background that makes the margin colour hard to see. Other spreads using Master A will continue to use Master A's margin colour. If you change Master A's margin colour it will change all the spreads that use that Master unless you've overridden it. If you reapply Master A it will revert to Master A's margin colour and be linked again. In Document Setup you can change the margin colour for the whole document.

Got it!  I hope the HELP instructions will include your more detailed explanation.  This is a great feature!!

Hi Mark

I would just thought I would check again. So AD 2.2 | Windows 10
In some instance the swatch changes in the Document Set Up Dialogue and the Margins in the Guides Panel do not reflect the changes you have made to the document. So the Document shows the colour change.. but when you go back into the Panel the swatch is blue but the margin | Guide is red!

Added video:
At 1.13 you can see swatch is blue | margin + guides are red!
Also as other comment there is no option to change the colour of the guide in the New Document Panel Under the Tab 'Margins'

Hi @StuartRc,

This appears to be very much Windows specific as it's working as expected on Mac.

Out of interest, do you see the same issues when using the Close button in the respective dialog windows rather than the 'X' to close the windows? I ask because 'X' isn't an option on Mac so just wondering if this is perhaps part of the issue here.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks very much for the video - this is very helpful. It looks like the presence of Artboards is causing the issue here on both Mac and Windows. Without an artboard it should behave. It seems the Artboards have individual Margin colours, whereas Column Guides and Ruler Guides all share the same colour.

I'll get this logged!

Thanks again

Hi @Sean P,

Do you happen to know whether the inability to set Margin colours by typing values in the Document Setup colour panel window is already logged?

Hi 

I checked this...as far as I can see it is not influencing the results. Although repeated clicking of swatch button (Margins (right)) on Guides Panel seemed to be a bit intermittent today, had to hit in centre for pop-up sliders to appear.

Thanks for having a look...hadn't picked up it was influenced by artboards!😀

Yes , artboards can have it's own guides/grids and margins.
I think it's a feature, hope Serif would also make this happen for the bleed.

It is indeed! It also affects the Bleed colour as well. I'll get that issue updated and nudged

Thanks!

Hi @Sean P,

Perfect, thanks for confirming...

I meant here that artboards should be able to set bleed per artboard too😉
