There is a modification I would like to make to Emacs' GTK interface.=C2=A0= I=20 have tried a number of solutions to give myself a visual cue as to which=20 window in a frame is selected, including changing the color of the=20 non-selected windows' backgrounds, changes to the powerline colors,=20 etc.=C2=A0 However, I have not found any of this solutions to be=20 satisfactory, and occasionally I will still start typing text intended=20 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=20 I configure, naturally) around the outer edge of the window, to indicate=20 that the window is selected. I have also tried just changing the background color of the fringes, but=20 I was unhappy with the results of that also, and would really prefer a=20 border around the whole outer edge of the window. So, I'm looking for suggestions as to where to start.=C2=A0 I realize the= C=20 code, in particular, the display code is far from simple, but I am=20 willing to give it a try.=C2=A0 If anyone has any pointers/recommendation= s on=20 how to accomplish this, I would very much appreciate it.
