Description of the new feature

Add an option to change border colors
I had this idea of making so you can change the border colors.

This is specially usefull when you have multiple windows and you dont want to use a terminal multiplexer.

Proposed technical implementation details

I don't know if the way VSCode is made and the Window terminal nad if they are a bit compatible.
There is a VSCode extension called peacock that changes border colors

xlinking for my own sake:

Looks a lot like different Themes.

#9818 has a note about previewing different themes (though, I don't think it's tracked anywhere specific?)

then there's also the idea of per-window themes (which would be enabled by #9992)

then there's also "workspaces" which I'm tracking in #17084, which would allow a similar idea of setting global settings on a window name and you can save that window name. Kinda would also play into this.

There's also already $theme.$window.frame for controlling the window border

So, just for my own notekeeping - would an action that lets you switch between themes be sufficient here?

@Hacker0P I'm not sure we're even sure we know what was requested for this feature. OP never got back to us. I'm pretty sure that all the variations on this idea were tracked in other requests.

Since OP deleted their account, I'm just gonna close this out.
