### Per Client Border Color
Have you ever wanted your main client to show up in a different color so that it more easily catches your eye? Or maybe your Logi to stand out?

EVE-O Preview doesn't provide any GUI to set the these per client overrides as yet. Though, It can be done via editing the configuration file directly.
**Note** Don't forget to make a backup copy of the file before editing it.

Open the file using any text editor. find the entry **PerClientActiveClientHighlightColor**. Most probably it will look like

"PerClientActiveClientHighlightColor": {
"EVE - Example Toon 1": "Red",
"EVE - Example Toon 2": "Green"
}

You should modify this entry with a list of each of your clients replacing "Example Toon 1", etc with the name of your character. The names on the right represent which highligh color to use for that clients border.

If a client does not appear in this list, then it will use the global highlight color by default.

**Hint** For a list of supported colors see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.color#properties
