Easy fix for thick black lines around MS13 events

1. Hold Shift key when opening Options/Preferences
2. Click Internal tab
3. Type "border" (without the quotes) into the Show only prefs containing: text box
4. Change Value from 3 to 2 and click Apply
5. If you like that thickness click OK. If not, change it to 1 and click Apply.

On my system 2 is best; 1 seems to be no border at all.

Quirk: I tried changing the color of the border too (just put "color" in the Show only box) and this worked, but was not saved when I closed MS13. So I got the yucky default border color on restart.

Oh well.

Good advice, Birk.
One should remember though that all changes in the Internal Prefs are made at one's own risk. They're probably hidden for a reason.
Btw, after a week's use I don't seem to notice the black lines any more, but that's just personal.

Brilliant, thanks. That's one of my dislikes of MS13 fixed as simple as that.

Seems to be the thickness in pixels. 1 is fine here for the border but makes the highlighting a bit too thin. 2 is a good compromise. Pity the colour of the highlight is not remembered.
