Hi,

Is there any way where I can put borders between dashboards in Kibana 5.x dashboards?

Thanks

Take a look at [How to get border for each visualization in Kibana 5 like Kibana 4](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-get-border-for-each-visualization-in-kibana-5-like-kibana-4/98218)

Hi Imma,

I added following snippet to the file /usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/kibana.style.css

```
   .panel {
      border: 1px solid green;
    }

```

It's working fine when the background theme is white but for dark theme when I changed to border: 1px solid white, it's not working.

There's a dark theme selector you'll need to apply as well. This might vary depending upon your version but is always something like `.theme-dark` on the selector you're looking to apply it to. You can usually find it with inspector (here I am manually applying a border to the class in insprector).

Here's an example

Thanks David. I edited it in the file /usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/commons.style.css. It is working now. 🙂

I also raised [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/14228](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/14228) to see if we can expose this as a setting 🙂
