Right next to the object name in the upper right of the screen you can change the wire colour. Whatever you select there will be reflected in the uvw editor

I can see the edge loops on my end, barley though. Have you tried changing the colour of the background and/or the edges colour in Options> Preferences?

renderhjs

thats one reason why I overwrite default colors in the UV unwrap editor with TexTools and removing the annoying checker background - because often you can't see shit.

It bugged me at first like a mad man. If you change the color to white all will be fixed.

UH??? 3dsmax start to be more broken than Maya XDDD...

On 3dsmax 5.0 it was in the Edit UVWS windows, ---> Menu Options ---> Preferences ---> Line Color....

Probably a bug, it seems to not affect the color in the 2010SP1 version... :D

It will automatically switch any objects you click on to be white. Don't use this if you like using base colors to distinguish objects.
