For some stupid reason I did not automatically equate 'border color' in the props palette

The property inspector can toggle the property label to show either the description or the property name itself, with one of the settings in the preferences. In both versions, the other description/name is shown as a tooltip on hovering over the label.

That's very useful to know.

Thanks.
