Just to clarify I am not talking about the stroke line; this is the light blue line when connecting points together

Change thickness and color of blue add point line?
I am currently creating a person based off a sketch. I am having a very difficult time seeing the blue line that connects all the points together when I am trying to manipulate it to match the sketch outline. It's really thin and being light blue on a black and white sketch I can hardly make it out. Even after zooming in. Is there a setting to make this thicker to see or maybe even change its color as well?

You can go to
Edit -> Preferences -> Editor Colors -> Object
And change the construction curves color there

Thank you soooooo much!!! That is a huge help! I was looking everywhere for something like this but didn't know what it was called 
Re: Change thickness and color of blue add point line?
Yeah, it's very useful to be able to change the curve color this way. BTW, this also affects the outline color of the bones.
Normally, I like to darken the color to dark gray value, but not completely black. I usually just use the default 'aqua' color and drag the color down to about 30% from the bottom. (ATM, mine is set to #0F504B.) This dark aqua color seems to show up well against most artwork I've worked with in Moho.
BTW, I don't use full black because black can be a common design color, and black curves and bones definitely aren't visible against that. And when I'm working with artwork that's closer to that aqua color, I'll change the Object setting's hue to something that shows up better but keep the general dark value of the color.
That said sometimes I do wish I could thicken the lines a pixel or two. Just getting more control over how the UI items display will be nice. For example, I'd love to be able to arbitrarily set the display size of a Pin bone independently of the bone's Scale effect size.

I have a script for that: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cor ... r.zip?dl=0
The first time you run it, each time you open Moho, you can set two object colors. Then every time you use it, it will toggle between those two colors. I typically leave them black and white, and toggle as needed.
