Describe the bug
border_implementation options in the config file are Komorebi and Windows (first charecter is uppercase) but the help document (komorebic border-implementation --help) shows them as komorebi and windows. And using them doesn't work.

Expected behavior
Since the parameters are case sensitvie, their syntax should match between config file and help.

Operating System

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
OS Version:                10.0.22631 N/A Build 22631

komorebic check Output
Provide the output of komorebic check

KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected: C:\Users\asharaf\.config\komorebi

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\asharaf\.config\komorebi

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\asharaf\.config\whkd\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is
started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Can you check if running the CLI command triggers any errors in the logs?

There is a minimum version requirement for this, but from your OS info it looks like you are above 22000 🤔

DWMWA_BORDER_COLOR
Use with DwmSetWindowAttribute. Specifies the color of the window border. The pvAttribute parameter points to a value of type COLORREF. The app is responsible for changing the border color according to state changes, such as a change in window activation.

Specifying DWMWA_COLOR_NONE (value 0xFFFFFFFE) for the color will suppress the drawing of the window border. This makes it possible to have a rounded window with no border.

Specifying DWMWA_COLOR_DEFAULT (value 0xFFFFFFFF) for the color will reset the window back to using the system's default behavior for the border color.

This value is supported starting with Windows 11 Build 22000.

The casing is unrelated- JSON gets serialized/deserialized with TitleCase and the CLI sticks to lowercase to match command line conventions.

For more information, try '--help'.

and in komorebi.json file:
"border_implementation": "Komorebi", works fine.

"border_implementation": "komorebi", doesn't work.
