Alt - Tab Thumbnail Coloring (Not coloring when window is active) #546

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't like to be distracted by colors around the window when I am concentrated and working on the active VSCODE window. On the other hand I want to find the active window when I am doing the "alt - tab".

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be perfect if peacock had a configuration such that, the color is active only when the window is not active. (I am assuming by this way in the alt - tab thumbnails I can see the desired color and easily find the window I am looking for.)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Much better alternative is the color to be active only for thumbnails (even backgrounded vscodes don't have the color so that the windows in the same screen don't distract either.

Additional context

I believe colors pull your attention. So they should not pull your attention when you need to divert your attention to something else, in this case coding.
