"Find my window" function #36024

Closed NewUser2020 closed 1 day ago

NewUser2020 commented 2 days ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I want to quickly find the window that has currently the keyboard focus.

It would be perfect if the window with the keyboard focus would be clearly visually marked. Either permanently or with a tool that works like "Find my mouse", i.e. on activation I get a visual clue which window is active.

Scenario when this would be used?

In Windows 11 it is no longer clear which window has currently the focus.

The border width of windows is 1 Pixel and that cannot be changed.

Supporting information

I have activated "Settings > Personalisation > Colours > Show accent colour on title bars and window borders", but there are windows where the title bar colour does not change when they get the focus.
