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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlmost immediately, Ignacio Paz Posse commented on his solution which was to <a href=\"https:\/\/irreal.org\/blog\/?p=11874\">make the mode line of the active window a bright color<\/a>. I loved his solution and <a href=\"https:\/\/irreal.org\/blog\/?p=11880\">adapted it<\/a> for my own use. I haven&rsquo;t looked back. I&rsquo;m still using Posse&rsquo;s solution and really like it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Dyer continued to evolve his method and even made it into a package. Now he has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emacs.dyerdwelling.family\/emacs\/20240208164549-emacs-selected-window-accent-mode-now-on-melpa\/\">put it on Melpa<\/a> along with his latest updates. Take a look at his <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/captainflasmr\/selected-window-accent-mode\/blob\/main\/img\/selected-window-accent-mode-00.jpg\">screen shot<\/a> to see what it looks like. It&rsquo;s an excellent solution to marking the active window. I still prefer Posse&rsquo;s method but many will, I&rsquo;m sure, want to use Dyer&rsquo;s solution. The Github repository for the project is <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/captainflasmr\/selected-window-accent-mode?tab=readme-ov-file\">here<\/a>. It&rsquo;s reasonably configurable so you can adjust it to your tastes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month ago, I wrote about James Dyer&rsquo;s experiment with marking the active window.
