Illustrator transparency grid default colors
ozskry (61 points) | Mon, 2006-04-10 13:20Hi all,
Is there a way to define a default colors set for the transparency grid in Illustrator? Or do I always need to go in the document setup in each document to change the grid colors?
Thx

I tried to save the color into the deafault page but it still doesn't open that way.
I opened the "Startup_CMYK.ai" found in Applications > Adobe Illustrator > Plug-ins > Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai Changed the Illustrator Preferences to the desired result then saved the file. Now when I create a new Illustrator file it has the tranparency grid I selected and saved previously.
Didn't work for me neither.
imurf, which version of Illustrator do you use? I use CS2. You quote "Illustrator Preferences" but in CS2 the transparency grid preferences are in "Document Setup".
OK I forgot to say that you have to change something solid. For example : I created a shape on the artboard then deleted it, then hit save.
Sorry about that. :-)
This is not working.
I opened the "Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai" file, opened the ""Document Setup", modified the 2 grid colors to C 100% and M 50 % to have a full dark blue in background, turned on the transparency grid and saved the file. I re-opened the file and I had the blue background. I quit Illustrator and re-launched it. When I created a new document, it opened with the transparency grid visible but with the default white and grey chessboard. Not my dark blue background.
