Highlight focused window #271

Closed Kantis closed 3 weeks ago

Kantis commented 3 weeks ago

In my opinion, it's very hard to identify the focused on a large screen or multi-monitor setup with a bunch of tiled windows. Somehow aiding in this process would be very practical imo. Identifying the currently focused window is necessary to perform: move, join-with, layout, focus, resize.

I know this goes against the current value-statement of the project, but I'd like to open the discussion anyway because IMO this is not merely a question of fancy appearance.

Provide practical features. Fancy appearance features are not practical (e.g. window borders, transparency, etc)


Workaround

I've currently added Hammerspoon which provides this functionality, but since it does not integrate with AeroSpace, there's noticeable delays for the overlay to refresh when changing focused window.
