#TRANSPARENT ARTBOARD IN ILLUSTRATOR 64 BIT#

Just like any program, if there is no contrasting object behind it and the non-object background is white, it's of course not visible against the 'background' by default. If you give something a white fill, the white fill does, indeed, display. There is no way to preview white text, logo's, or graphics in illustrator (without 'hacks') using backgrounds other than white. So here is where you make your feature request.

Perhaps with 64 bit support or with engineers with a different outlook it might be different at this time especially since the desire to change the background color is request requested much more often. And since there was outline, transparency grid and smart guides it was not at that time going to be considered. It would be better to be able to choose a different color background, but as I recall after making a response to such a feature request by someone in the feature request forum, it was suggested that it might not be a good idea at that time for stability issues. I use to have this problem when I first started using AI I often used art that would be dropped out white from a background image in Quark so had to bring it in as a 1 bit white eps in order to for it to work.īut working in AI required outline mode which was not so cool often or do what you did I usually used gray not black as that was more like halftone.

Yes, there should be such an option, however since these types of drawing programs are evolving and re being used in ways that they were never intended then one has to expect that not every circumstance can be anticipated. Kind of silly that you have to do that, no? changed the grid colors in Document Setup to both be black.
