    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 August 2025 update just made the selected artboard's border's thicker and darker in color. It's very distracting while working since it stands out way too much. An option to adjust the thickness or revert it back to it's old design would be great. This way people who struggle with thin borders can have this option turned on and those who dont want it, can keep it turned off.
