Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current implementation of active window borders draws a filled rectangle behind the focused window. This means that if translucency is enabled in various apps such as Windows Terminal, the user will only ever see the colour of the filled rectangle behind the focused window.

Describe the solution you'd like

Borders should not require an entire filled rectangle behind the focused window, but instead just a thin, un-filled rectangle around the outside of the focused window.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It may have been possible to handle this by allowing the user to set the opacity of the filled border rectangle, but that still doesn't solve the actual issue.

Additional context

The problem doesn't really impact users on Windows 10.
