Hi! I have some vision problems, so I'm working with colors, but I would like to know how to change the color, even the thickness of the border for the selected cells (active). Here is green, but I can't see it so well...Tks for the answer

Highlight these cells (left mouse button), then right button>format cells.
Then select font, border, fill tabs and change to whatever you want.
Am I missing something?
Tks for your answer, but probably I did not make myself clear... I want to change the color and the width for the selection frame, not for the border of the cell.
I will upload another image so make myself clear. I need to change that green frame...

Update: I have found, but I need to make a vba project, which is a little complicated to me... But, if anyone want to know this is the solution...

No vba in this one.
I'm sorry, but your solution doesn't help me... As I said in the previous message, I need to change the color for the active cell frame, not the border of a cell. But, tks for taking time to answer to my question.
Sort of like this you mean? (see attached)
Did you even read the link?
I'm sorry again... I did read the link, but is not what I need . Look on your attached file, in the middle of the red border is my active cell... I want to change the color of the border of the active cell, not a random border.

Post #3....I want to change the color and the width for the selection frame, not for the border of the cell.
Post #7....I want to change the color of the border of the active cell,
And they are not 'random borders', they were my active cells at the time I decied to change the border colour.
Yep. Just checked it out. It works for whichever case you mean...a border of a 'selection frame' or an active cell. No restrictions on size (see attached)
Anyway. That's it for me. You can lead a horse to water...

Sorry, but apparently, because I didn't express myself correctly, it's a misunderstanding. It is true that I said in the first post that I wanted to change the frame and then the border...
I tried to explain as best as I could what I was looking for... I looked, more than once at your file...
In the attached image you will see where I selected a range of cells, so it's the active selection range. What is the difference between the area I selected and the cells you bordered?
The fact that the frame that surrounds the cells selected by me, is green and has in the lower right corner the pointer through which autofill or other filling options are made. What's in your file is just cells that you've applied a border to.
To explain even better, I said that I have vision problems and when I work with 2 files at once, when I move from one to another, I can't see the border in the active cell well, and if you have a lot of data, it's difficult to find the needle in the hay wagon.
That's why I was looking for a solution to change the color, even the thickness for the frame of the active cell. By the way, in my language the same word is used for frame or border.
Anyway, thanks for taking the effort to read and respond to my messages.
