Dimmo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi, is possible to make the margins and text frame behave like the column guides and choose the colour and intensity the standard ones are too thick and dark and I find then very distracting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 That is not currently possible, but is an interesting suggestion.

AllAppsUser Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I know this is an old post. However: +1 The colours are so similar I'm finding the visual on screen confusing. It can look like I've got two text boxes overlapping each other. Continually throws me and has me checking. I've introduced a shortcut for show/hide guides to help. It would be 'nice to have' the ability to change the guide colour in the preferences. -------------------------------------- (I've just embarked on a mission to learn this software now - since publisher completed the trio. I've owned the software for a while, watched it's development since Photo Beta. The investment in jumping from Adobe is now becoming more likely to pay-off IMHO. It's a horse to back. Been a long time coming. I have a good record of predicting software in the market... let's hope I still have.)

Robert Laskey Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 +1 I, too, find them too thick. I normally do not include them in my designs. Ability to change colours would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkko Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 +1 If other guides are customizable why shouldn't margins be? And I too think they're too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANDJOJO Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I find them too thick also for the text frame, difficult to select the word in the left corner of the top text frame and intefered with the dot handle, and look like a overlape text frame due too thick line.

It is "Tool Handle Size" in the Tools section of the preferences. It is hard to balance the tool handle size to be big enough to grab easily while small enough to not get in the way when you want to grab something else, but it is nice that Serif has given us the choice about where that balance is for each individual.

I am not sure I understand you, as what I was talking about is in the current release (and has been for longer than I remember). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
