Active hint width radius GUI

Open ngeraks opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I dislike the default width of the active hint.
I want it 1 px wide and 0 radius,
I have modified dark.css and light.css,
however, after updating it is back to it's default.
A good feature would be to add a GUI setting like the one with color.

So, the radius is now implemented, still, it would be nice to see a similar toggle for the width of the active border. Even an absurdly large width may be interesting for certain people, for example I can imagine people enjoying an active width taking the whole gap size. ( I would probably prefer a 1 px)

This strange use case with an extremely wide active border could potentially be further enhanced with patterns: Imagine a gradient flowing out - glowing out effect (yes, I used to do this with compiz), or glowing in or one may have alternating multiple lines, rainbows, wavy lines, dashes etc. The same goes for gaps, why would they need to be transparent, there could be a 'non-active' hint, I am getting carried away...
