    Change default transparency grid colors?

    Posted by Greg C neumayer on February 11, 2016 at 11:35 pm

    I’d like to change the default colors of the transparency grid in AI. Currently it’s white and grey. I’d like it to be
    “0x0053564B” and
    “0x004F4D53”
    which is the format for AE prefs. (It’s a medium tone green and purple).

    However, the AI pref file (/Users/Admin/Library/Preferences) in version 19 is in this 16-bit format:

    (lines 4409 – 4415)
    /transparencygrid 0
    //this presumably white, as it’s the highest number allowable:
    /transparencygrid_color1_red 65535
    /transparencygrid_color1_green 65535
    /transparencygrid_color1_blue 65535
    //and the grey:
    /transparencygrid_color2_red 52428
    /transparencygrid_color2_green 52428
    /transparencygrid_color2_blue 52428

    How can I convert my preferred colors to this format?
    Or is there an easier access to this pref that I’m not aware of?

    Thanks!
