    Majority of the time, working with a white background in AI...

    New layer, start drawing... can't see my path because new layer has cycled through the layer colours and come to the dreaded 'Yellow' layer colour.... so... double click, change layer colour... sigh... life wasted on this...

    Looked in prefs, no way to set the default layer colours....

    How about Adobe write a little line of code that when a new layer is created it checks to see either the background colour of the largest bottom layered object in scene - or the current stroke colour, and if it's white create layers with darker layer colours, or visa versa.

    • would take less than 5mins to code that.shapesalad
    • haha, Yellow is my water line - if I'm not on my final commit by the time it's popped up, I'm either on a big project, or I've fucked up somewhere.Nairn
