Unable to change a campaign's border color

When will that blue outer boarder color be customizable???

 

This is ridiculous. Hire a good programmer to make that bar customizable. I shouldn't have to be beholden to the blue. We're charged a sh!t-ton of money – everything should be customizable. Don't be cheap. Get this done. It's unacceptable.

Hi everyone, thank you for your patience as we looked into this! The good news is we have received word from our engineers that feature request has been fixed. Users do now have the ability to select a width and color of the border.

I just realized that I am facing the same problem as JoshuaM097 and others - I copied my previous email template and tried to change the outer border color and cannot. I am now stuck with a pink border in my new email. All this happened after some sort of update to the editing function of CC. I've just wasted 2 hours of my time and haven't been able to fix it. Terrible customer service....

Hi @JoshuaM097

 

At this time we do not have a time estimate of when this will be fixed. We will however reach out to this thread when there is any further updates to share. In the meantime, as a workaround, we recommend using a template without a border, such as Basic Note.

Hello,
Work is being done on this. The ability to remove or change the default outer border available in certain templates will be part of a feature that allows for a new outer border design element across all templates that could be added, removed, or changed (color, width).

 

There is active development happening, but I don't have a solid time frame yet. There are a few different internal teams involved, and the change has some design bugs in certain email clients that will need to be resolved before we can get this out.

 

We'll keep this thread updated.

I do a church newsletter and have always changed my colors to match the liturgical colors. Now I have a green border around my newsletter and I can't change or get rid of it without a complete redo of my entire template. This is something that I was able to do easily before you "upgraded". There are other 'improvements' that have been made, too, that have made things much more difficult, like having to upload pictures instead of being able to drag and drop. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop 'improving' things that reduce the functionality of the program!!
