Problem

The sample AHK script contains 3 lines to create a visual border:

; Uncomment the next lines if you want a visual border around the active window
ActiveWindowBorderColour(66, 165, 245, "single")
ActiveWindowBorderColour(256, 165, 66, "stack")
ActiveWindowBorderColour(255, 51, 153, "monocle")

However, this does not work, and no border is showing.

Solution

The following line is missing, and should be added below the other lines:

ActiveWindowBorder("enable")

Only with this line does the active window actually get a coloured border.
