Gary M Gordon (ID: 00000057755bf00e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/22/2018 Love it. I'd also appreciate the ability to thicken the border line, change the border line color, maybe even add a drop shadow to the border line. I see other's have suggested this as well. Hopefully you'll be able to incorporate these features. But regardless, thanks for this!
