limelight has been removed, is there an alternative for window boarder if disable SIP could not be an option?

Window border has been removed completely
See:

• Removal of window borders #1889

Limelight was a separate program by the same author of this repo which could provide window borders.

If anyone finds a solutions for borders it would be useful to share here, and reference in the wiki.

Hoping for some solution as well! It's hard to know which window has focus. I used borders to distinguish for a while, but now that they're gone I keep typing into the wrong window :(

1. Downgrade to the old version, eg 5.0.7. Using Blurred.app or Hazeover.

yabai -m config window_opacity                on
yabai -m config active_window_opacity         1.0
yabai -m config normal_window_opacity         0.9
yabai -m config window_opacity_duration       0.0

I use slight bit of opacity to distinguish active windows apart as well.

I understand removing borders from yabai but I do not understand the move to remove limelight. It could have been archived just as well. Does anyone have a recent fork?

[koekeishiya]

Limelight was broken on macOS Monterey and newer.

Go nuts.
