Borders

You can enable or disable border display for a control. Borders are displayed when you select a control or hover the mouse cursor over it.

The name, borders, and fill of the control are colored in the selected color when you move the mouse cursor over it or select it. The title, borders and fill are not displayed if the borders are hidden for the control (see above).

By default, the control color is set to gray.

You can select a different color from a palette of preset colors or specify one manually.

To specify the color manually, click the  button. In the Select Color window that appears, specify the desired color as a HEX code or in RGB format and click OK.

The specified color will be added to the palette of preset colors. Select it with a click of the mouse.
