Any way to visually mark Active Window?

[Aktonius]

I was thinking there is a way to draw/change border of a window but that doesnt seem to be possible trough winapi. Do you people know of any trick to at least in any other way visually mark an active window so user of the app can tell which window is active?

Hi Aktonius,

did you use the search function of the forum? I think I once found an example of what you are looking for in the Example Scripts section.

I have no clue what you want. maybe you should try to explain it in more detail. But maybe you want this:

there can only be 1 active window.

you can use this function to obtain Title of an active window

WinActive

then you make a loop say each 100 milliseconds you call WinActive

or you can put all this into a function & if you press a hotkey winactive will be called & you will know what window is active:

While 1
     Sleep(500)
    $WinActive = WinActive("[ACTIVE]")
    ConsoleWrite($WinActive & @CRLF)
 WEnd
