    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.

    The recent change to a thick black border is not suitable, in my opinion. It makes it difficult to design artwork that has full artboard coverage, when the artwork itself does not include a border.

    The ability to choose the colour of the artboard border would great and it surprises me that this was not an earlier feature. For my personal preference, I would have no artboard border, so that it has no visual impact on the artwork within the artboard.
