249 Installation & Bleed

[AlanPickup]

Hi many thanks for the update.

I am pleased to report this is the first version that has not failed during the install process, however I still had to right click and run as administrator (this is also required by other installations as this PC fails to create directory). A new anomaly this time was the icon pinned to the start menu did not pick up the new version, I had to remove it from the start menu and create a new item. Another difference is the splash screen no longer appears  when the program is open, cannot find option to show at start (but have not checked help out as yet)

I have not done many production projects on Publisher as yet so not used bleed in practice and testing. I use the light interface and the paste board quite light as it works better with my astigmatism but the bleed guides are almost invisible, is there a setting to change the colour of the bleed guides or thickness?

To get the splash screen to show at start-up, go to menu "Help -> Welcome..." and check the "Show this panel on startup" box at the bottom-left of the window.

I can't find one - but you can darken the background slightly, which makes the bleed guides stand out a bit better.

The problem is then seeing images on the paste board as I have trouble with dark screens through the astigmatism in my eyes, which as likely makes the bleed guides even more undetectable for me. In Pageplus the canvas is enlarged which makes it easy to see.

I do find the guides a bit difficult to see myself, I suppose that we can only hope that all types of guides are made more customisable in the release version!
