Hi, I'm not familiar with Tilling Assistant and I don't understand why you want to style preview of the focused window. Can you add a screenshot and better explanation?

in both examples i use aatws . here i just do window switching, i just select window and i press enter to change focus, notice the border around focused window , that is set through Tilling assistant which is a gnome extension that provide window tilling feature on gnome DE.

i just want to be able to change window border style in aatws, such as , border thickness and color. THANKS.

The preview uses this default css class, that can be changed be your current theme:

.cycler-highlight {
  border: 5px solid $selected_bg_color;
}

If I'm seeing it correctly, the AATWS preview has no border at all, which seems to be a problem with your custom theme. The 1px border appears when you close AATWS, right?

[JE-Amouel]

yes the default 1px border reappear after closing aatws, so i just have to change values in .cycle-highlight's class to get the desired behavior?

Correct.
