hey Egor Chistyakov

So I sort of found a workaround solution for the above issue. When you click the TOUCH MODE button and go into the special touch mode area (its like separate application or something) .
everything behaves as it should. Layer colours are represented as a preview colour when you draw with the pen tool.

This is okay i guess. But I often don't want to work in Touch mode because it doesnt have all the features of normal mode.

Also I noticed major lag issues for larger files in normal mode when drawing. Drawing a shape will cause lag issues including black screen for a few seconds or longer. But then going into touch mode, the lag issues vanish all together and its silky smooth.

Could this be an issue with the surface book 2 and microsoft pen drivers with adobe illustrator?

anyhoo hoping this bug wont be a issue in the next generation of surface pro 8s and surface laptop studios..

Paul, it does work fine for me on Windows 10, the preview color is adopted correctly. Is it still an issue for you?
Does it happen for all your files or new only?
Does switching off GPU preview help?

Paul, you mean Pencil?
I am a bit confused. The image you attached shows a quite visible edge of the line drawn. This is what I see when draw a line too, as it has been before... With or without GPU it behaves the same. What has changed then for you?

In previous versions of illustrator the layer colour defined the preview colour line when using the pen tool. In recent versions the preview is automatically. Set to a dark blue colour and i can't work out how to change this.

This tiny little change is causing me much grief, because in my artwork i draw on black shapes all the time and because the colour is dark blue, i can hardly make out what I'm drawing. I used to pick fluro pink, so I can easily see this line.

PLEASE HELP

I'm using surface book 2, windows 10, latest version of illustrator.
