Describe the feature

I am currently looking at @maxbrunsfeld & @maxdeviant, and to be honest, I really like the pink border here. It keeps me focused, and I hope to set this thing in the theme: it can highlight the border of the currently active pane

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

I just tried these two variables, they may be wrong

"experimental.theme_overrides": {
    "panel.focused_border": "#ff0000",
    "pane.focused_border": "#ff0000"
}

Just so I understand right, do you want to override the border colour indicating which user you're following with a theme, or do you want themes to be able to highlight the borders of active panes? because if the former, my two cents would be that it's a functionality and not something that should be aesthetically changed by a theme, seeing pink borders when I'm following a green cursor would confuse me. 🤷

The border color is controlled by the player colors. Specifically, I think it's the cursor color that we use here.

I think it's the latter they're looking for as they're looking for a focus pane theme field. So when you focus on a project, editor or terminal pane, they want to see the coloured border around it.

Oh ok in that case I agree, this would be a nice feature to have :) You've got my upvote

Additionally, I also have a plugin in nvim that can keep me focused and is super cool: https://github.com/shellRaining/hlchunk.nvim

Also, there is a screen-mode in vscode that also keeps me focused
