JankyBorders Integration

JankyBorders (macOS window borders via borders) works standalone out of the box — it follows macOS focus automatically.

For layout-aware border colors, subscribe to the layout_change event and pass the mode name to borders:

KiwiDesk.on("layout_change", function(space_id, mode)
    local colors = {
        bsp       = "0xFFBD93F9",  -- purple
        stack     = "0xFF50FA7B",  -- green
        scrolling = "0xFF8BE9FD",  -- cyan
        monocle   = "0xFFFF79C6",  -- pink
        grid      = "0xFFFFB86C",  -- orange
        floating  = "0x00000000",  -- transparent
    }
    local c = colors[mode] or "0xFFFFFFFF"
    KiwiDesk.exec("borders active_color=" .. c)
end)

Install borders via Homebrew:

brew install felixkratz/formulae/borders

Color format is 0xAARRGGBB (alpha + RGB). The example colors are from Dracula — adjust to your theme.
