Separate Proof Margin color option
What problem do you see this solving?
I frequently edit with a dark border. When enabling Proof Margin I more often than not switch to a white border. Turning off Proof Margin requires more clicks to set the margin back to dark. This is too much clicking.
I would like an option in 'settings' for the margin color when Proof Margin is selected. When it is de-selected, it would go back to the default color.
(there would be two Margin choices- one for default, one for margin enabled)

This should be 'easy' to implement- it's a constant annoyance. Reduce 5 clicks (best case) to two- on and off.

One other way would be a pulldown like the pan or other tools on the proof margin box next to 'Image Layer' above the viewer. One could select the color there for the proof margin, which would stick until changed again. When clicking it off, the margin would default to the color in the preferences.

I've created some custom keyboard shortcuts for this. Control-Option-W sets the colour to White, Control-Option-D sets it back to Dark, and Option-P toggles the proof margin on or off.

Thanks Ian, that works- but it's not ideal. It's better than mouse clicks, but it's still keyboard for proof on, color white, .... color dark, proof off.
I guess if the Proof margin button had the pulldown, I could set it to what I want (it would stick between CO restarts) and either click the margin on or off, or use the keyboard. One click gets me two functions.
Keyboard for now, but hope springs eternal!
