Changing grid colors

[Acorn]

Is there still no official way to change the colour of the Xara Designer Pro (v20) grid?
Assuming not, from where may I download the Soquila / (Soquili?) free utility?

shipen, by grid are you talking about the entire Xara schema.
If so, it is still dark theme only.
Avoid toggling Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S as the light theme fails in a number of places.

The utility is called Xareg25.exe. Details in https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...328#post659328
It doe not change anything for the schema.

Only for Guides, which you can do within the application anyhow.

Nothing for grid lines and checkmarks, I fear.

never used it much myself always prefered regedit, but for those who don't wish to dabble with that it does a very good job...

To make sure, I just downloaded "Xareg25.exe", however as feared it doesn't seem to permit any way of changing the grid colour (which by default is a dark blue).

If using the (rather terrifying) REGEDIT, how would I find out what the correct variable would be to edit in order to change the grid colour?
Anyone got a suggestions?

with thanks

do not use regedit if you find it terrifying; no one should use regedit unless they first understand how it works and how to back things up

I checked for grid and drew a blank in the xara options; it is probably hardwired in...
