I have a question/problem about selecting a layer in the layers panel. Although the documentation says the selected layer should display as blue, the display changes to a different shade of grey. I've gone through the Preferences and tried to reset all the factory defaults, but to no avail. On the good side, the layer selection does work so it's really only a question and annoyance for me. Can anyone explain how to restore the blue color to the selected layer? BTW, I think Affinity Photo is a great piece of software and the team should be very proud of what they've produced.

 

I'm running Affinity Photo 1.6.7 on MAC OS 10.13.4.

The global highlight color for all apps can be set in your Mac's System Preferences > General. Blue is (I think) the default but it can be set to any color, including "Graphite," a medium shade of grey. If you are seeing everything highlighted in grey in all your apps but would prefer blue, it is probably this setting that needs to be changed.
