An option to not highlight the active artboard in Trim View
It would be great if the Artboard Display Highlight Color could be hidden when in Trim View. So it doesn't interfere with the visual look of the artwork and yet could be larger in the standard display mode to enable easier workflow.

The active artboard highlight helps us to know beforehand where Ai would zoom into with the Fit Artboard in Window command, which artboard will be used when Align commands are called in Align to Artboard mode, which artboard’s coordinates will be used when we paste something from one artboard to another.
The option in question is about this highlight — so I thought!But I guess you mean the border itself, for all artboards, and the fact the View > Hide Artboards command doesn’t work in Trim View. In normal view mode it hides these borders.
A request about it exists here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39157192Is this what you mean?

it's distracting because it looks like an outline on my design if my artboard is sized to my design. I think you are confused as to what I am talking about. the Artboard highlight has nothing to do with snapping or aligning or any of the topics you listed. It simply makes it easier to know which artboard is the active one, hence the ability to change the size of the highlight storke and color in preferences.

Del, how do you use Trim View exactly? What makes the active artboard highlight distracting for you? It’s not a decorative thing, it allow to see where aligning would happen, pasting, zooming... without the highlight, how would you tell it?
Currently you can set the color to #919191, 1 px, and there would be no difference between the active artboard and other ones.
