# Turned "Show Border" off (or on) and the file looks exactly the same

**What you are seeing**

I turned "Show Border" off (or on) and the file looks exactly the same.

---

## Why it happens

Show Border only affects the macro's non-content states. The unconfigured "Select File" invitation and the anonymous, not-connected and error cards. A successfully loaded file is never bordered either way.

---

## What to do

Expect no visible change on a working macro. The setting only changes how the placeholder and error boxes look.

---

## A few things that catch people out

* Re-picking a file silently resets Show Border and Show Line Numbers to true and drops Description, because the save routine rebuilds the whole configuration from scratch.
