Hello,  
I am looking for any insight into being able to achieve some specific design elements in our emails while retaining the ability to build things via drag-and-drop as much as possible.  
The two elements we are looking for are:  
- Applying a border-radius of 5px to email banner images without needing to round the corner in the image files themselves.  
- Apply a hover effect to the main CTA button in emails; basically changing the color of the button border upon hovering it.  
Let me know if this is possible via Design Tool in any capacity! Thank you

Hi @DSaucier

Unfortunately not all email clients are equal.

[According to Litmus](https://www.litmus.com/blog/how-to-create-an-interactive-email) you can use Hover effects, but not in all email clients.

I’ve seen mixed results with rounded corners so you may want to use an image.

Either way I recommend inline styles over css classes.

Have fun

Mike
