Problems encountered with macros

[4Candles]

Hello. 

I want to resize a canvas, add a 1px border too images. This is a doddle in Photoshop. In AP, I ran into several brick walls.

1. I couldn't easily change the colour of the canvas/background. I had to google to discover the method. I would expect context menu to give me choices; at the very least have a Settings link to User interface settings and open dialog box when selected. Image options when user context-clicks image, canvas/background options when user clicks canvas/background.

2. Not apparent you can add +/- values (a previous cry for help was needed) in Canvas Size. I add +20 to WH. When I create the macro and play it, all images are "resized" to the dimensions of the image used. While logical, it's useless unless there is a Relative resize option. Then, all documents, regarless of dimensions could be resized by 20x20px.

3. I added the macro to the Library. No way can I play it! More googling. Found I had Edit it to play it. Well, that's just not logical. I don't want to edit it, I want to play it.

4. I wanted to add a white border, so created a new layer but while macro is recording, I cannot move it below the background layer, even if BG is unlocked. I can use a KBSC, but again, not expected behaviour.

I wanted just mono icons. I discovered the option but it also turned the record icon to mono. Not helpful. While recording, a red button is much more useful. It's not distracting, as the toolbox can be. Would help if that was an option (personally, I would just leave it red).
