The problem is that right now is that I have not been able to find a way to change the width or thickness of the active window borders. If there is a way I have not been able to find it in the documentation. This is problematic on smaller laptop screens where each pixel matters and having thick borders takes away a significate amount of screen resolution.

A way to change the thickness in a config file would work very well. There is already a way to change the colors and the thickness of the padding so it could be something very similar to those.

I have tried to find other software that is able to have active window borders that are smaller but have not found anything that works well or that has the feature of different colors for different window statuses.

I really enjoy this software and hope to be able to continue using it.

  "active_window_border_width": 10,
  "active_window_border_offset": -3,

These are the values you need to play with, unfortunately it needs a bit of manual tweaking as you have to adjust the offset for every width - above are some values that roughly half the default active border thickness 🤞

That is perfect and exactly what I was looking for.
