HYR Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The selected artboard/layer is very subtly different than the other unselected artboards. It's not obvious at a glance what is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYR Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Taking the two same images I made a small change that I think would help the visibility of the selected layer/artboard in the layers panel. See attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I get a blue highlight on what I select, I grant you it is subdued when the Artboard and or layer is collapsed but it is obvious because of the blue not grey. Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friksel Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just curious, I'm using the windows version and in both the 'stable' as the beta-version we see blue selections. In your example everything looks only gray. This is what pc-users see in both designer versions, and that seems pretty easy to spot: Is the Mac-version that different to the PC-version? (serious question... I am surprised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Mine are purple. It appears to use the system highlight color on the Mac which is blue by default but can be changed from System Preferences -> General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYR Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Ahh! That's good to know! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 7, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 7, 2018 Fde101 is correct - the highlight uses the Highlight colour set in System Preferences > General, which in your case I believe it is Graphite, so unfortunately you will get that clash.

HYR Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah, thanks. So I guess it's still an issue but only if you have graphite selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
