Subject: GTK interface modification

Message-ID: <0520ad1f-1b7a-dd80-5030-00c07754d9c4@djstauffer.com> (raw)
Hello.
There is a modification I would like to make to Emacs' GTK interface. I
have tried a number of solutions to give myself a visual cue as to which
window in a frame is selected, including changing the color of the
non-selected windows' backgrounds, changes to the powerline colors,
etc. However, I have not found any of this solutions to be
satisfactory, and occasionally I will still start typing text intended
for one window when a different window is actually selected.
What I'd like to do is put a one or two pixel border (of whatever color
I configure, naturally) around the outer edge of the window, to indicate
that the window is selected.
I have also tried just changing the background color of the fringes, but
I was unhappy with the results of that also, and would really prefer a
border around the whole outer edge of the window.
So, I'm looking for suggestions as to where to start. I realize the C
code, in particular, the display code is far from simple, but I am
willing to give it a try. If anyone has any pointers/recommendations on
how to accomplish this, I would very much appreciate it.
DJ
