Highlights the active monitor and focused window with thin colored borders
WinFocus draws a thin colored border around the monitor that holds the focused window,
and a second border around the focused window itself (hidden while that window is
maximized or fullscreen), so you always know where your typing will go on a
multi-monitor desktop. Native Win32, single exe, no tray icon, no service.
Run "winfocus --install" once to start it at logon; "winfocus --uninstall" removes it.
