      I thought I saw an option to change the guide line color somewhere, but I can't find it now. It is sometimes difficult to see my guide lines when they are drawn the same color as the layer I'm editing.

      Is there an option to change that, or was that my imagination?

      Thank you

          I tried that and it doesn't change my guide line color. The color of the line seems to default to the color of the layer I'm working with. It seems like it's somehow tied to "color by layer" or something.

          I thought I saw an option somewhere once that let me select whether it defaulted to the layer color or no.

            Changing the property in styles, as you pointed out, does change the guide line color if I am not inside a component. While editing inside a component, the guide line color seems to default to the same color as the layer of the component.

              Put the guides on a Layer and color it whatever color you want the guides to be.

                Hi Cheem, hi folks.

                After you change the Guides color in Styles, don't forget to update the style using the icon that looks like two curved arrows chasing each other.

                Just ideas.
