Hi,

Excerpts from i3.thegrue's message of 2012-03-26 12:07:47 +0200:

Is there a way to indicate focus a bit stronger? Most of the times I
have no problem with it, but when I have multiple pidgin chat windows
open, it's sometimes hard to find where the focus is. Something like a
frame in a configurable colour comes to my mind...
You can change the color of the focused window, see the user’s guide:
http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_changing_colors

Having a thicker border is not possible. Think about it — you would either need
to resize all affected windows on each focus change or always waste a number of
pixels on your screen to provide enough space for a thicker border.

Best regards,
Michael
