A month ago, I wrote about James Dyer’s experiment with marking the active window. His original idea was to make the fringe of the active window a different color so that it stood out and was easy to discern from the others.
Almost immediately, Ignacio Paz Posse commented on his solution which was to make the mode line of the active window a bright color. I loved his solution and adapted it for my own use. I haven’t looked back. I’m still using Posse’s solution and really like it.
Meanwhile, Dyer continued to evolve his method and even made it into a package. Now he has put it on Melpa along with his latest updates. Take a look at his screen shot to see what it looks like. It’s an excellent solution to marking the active window. I still prefer Posse’s method but many will, I’m sure, want to use Dyer’s solution. The Github repository for the project is here. It’s reasonably configurable so you can adjust it to your tastes.
