    I was looking into the yabai window manager because I know you can get borders that way too, even though I'm perfectly happy with my current WM. I found in the issue tracker that somebody had made a program called limelight, which is just a port of the old functionality of yabai's border system which has now changed. You can install limelight by itself without yabai and simply get active/inactive borders with a simple config file to change colors. No more recompiling every time you want to change colors, and no more fullscreen issues. It's not perfect, sometimes borders can get stuck for a sec before correcting themselves, but it's a hell of a lot better than winbuddy. It is possible using limelight to hide the rounded corners that Big Sur unfortunately put on every single window.
