    We finally got the control over the active artboard border color.

    In Beta 30.1.0.89, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, in the new Artboard Display section, we now can choose the color and the border width in pixels — black, 1 px by default, as usual. We can set it 4 px maximum

    The border tries to get aligned by center, but stays pixel-perfect, so choosing 3 is safe. Color choices are the same as we get with layers’ colors, with a custom option as well.

    There’s no way to tweak inactive artboards’ borders. Please comment if this solution is working for you and if there’s anything you need to have it perfect.

    Please make this happen. Working with black art is miserable. You cant see the art board boundaries. I'm constantly making the art opacity 50-75 to ensure its correct and then putting back to 100%. Note: the bleed line is red and easily visible. Do that with the art board line. Please.
