Ability to change the color of each Guide

[Tormy]

it wil eb much appreciated if you can introduce the ability to be able to change the color of each single Guide Line

I agree. I often have multiple guidelines active in a document (for bleed, safe area, object alignments, composition guides etc) and it can be difficult to quickly discern what each line is marking. It can be even trickier when revisiting an old project.

Further, it would be great to be able to toggle guidelines by colour, i.e. show the blue lines only or the red lines only, or show both together.

Would be nice if it was layer based. So whatever your layer colour is so would your guide line. Indesign does this somewhat. If I make a new layer and the layer is red, the guide line when selected is red. When unselected it goes back to the blue colour that they all are. I tried this in Publisher to see if it behaves in the same or a similar way, but it does not seem so. Also making a guideline in a specific layer does not work which also means I could not quickly hide a layer and guides in that layer.

So if the layer was deleted, the guides defined in it would also be deleted? This could be quite confusing for users. In this case, I would probably prefer to use my own colored guide lines.

That is how it works in Indesign. Whatever layer you are on, when you drag out your guide lines they are associated with that layer. So yes, if the layer you deleted had guidelines in it then those would be deleted. I don't find it confusing and because I delete any layer I do the quick turn off and on again so I am visually seeing what I am deleting with the layer to make sure I don't have something accidentally in the wrong layer. When I am working with measurements that I am marking out I have a complete separate layer for all of those. That way I can export with them all on if I so choose, and if not I can just turn the layer off.
