    The team decided to revert the current look of the active artboard border (2 px black) to the way it used to look previously (1 px black) — many found it to be distracting.

    This change will affect General, Beta, and Prerelease builds. No update is required, this flag will be toggled automatically, presumably in few hours.

    The change is not final, and the team is considering making it better.

    Watch this place for updates on the development.

    Hi, what we need is the border to change to white or another color when the artboard has a black background, or the ability for us to change the color to one that works for our design.

    I'm so surprised this isn't an option yet. For me, even swapping the active artboard color with the inactive one would be so much better. The black just blends in and I have no idea where the edge of the artboard is without putting guides over the edge of the artboard.
