Message definition (Release notes/1.2)
* The '''size of the guide handles''' is now '''adjustable''' via the existing setting <code>Edit → Preferences → Interface → Handle size</code>. Nonetheless, the guide handles react to this setting at half the rate of other handles; at large settings, the effective size of a guide handle is about half the size of an auto-smooth node. At the same time, a minimum size is enforced, equal to the previously hard-coded size. As a result of this mechanism, the handle is only enlarged when the <code>Handle size</code> preference is set to a value of 7 or larger. Since the default value is 3, the size of guide handles does not change on new installs or for users on default settings ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3111 Bug #3111], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3870 MR #3870])
* Larger '''handles can now easily be grabbed''' with the mouse, because the handles themselves are now 'grabb-able', not only the guide lines below ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3111 Bug #3111], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3870 MR #3870])
* Handles '''now take on the guide's color'''. Only when the guide is locked, its handle turns grey (and changes the shape to an "x", as before) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3111 Bug #3111], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3870 MR #3870])
* The '''default color''' of guides and grids was changed to a '''softer shade of blue''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/4012 MR #4012])
