**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 2.16.3 + 3.1  
My PHP version is: 7.2

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
Creating Focus items seems super restrictive in the design you are able to show here. I tried to add an image “which was round” but still this “envelope” comes up.

Is there something I am missing here, or is the only way to change this something in the code and then would this allow for any type of Focus Item design to be implemented via html ?

This was bugging us, and we figured out how to take away most of the styling:

Need to go to /mautic//plugins/MauticFocusBundle/Views/Builder/Modal/

edit index.html.php

From

 .mf-\<?php echo $style; ?\> { border-color: #\<?php echo $props['colors']['primary']; ?\> } replace border-color: #\<?php echo $props['colors']['primary']; ?\> with border-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; Then go ahead and use either the editor or html editor to add what you want
