Generally, I've been duping these to #4862. However, I totally missed the one other checkbox in #1625 about the caption button colors, so I'm gonna re-purpose this issue to track that element. Thanks!

Note

Walkthrough

To do this, we'd need to:

• Listen for a WM_NCACTIVATE in IslandWindow
• Plumb that as an event up to AppHost
• Call a new method on AppLogic, which plumbs that down to TerminalPage to tell them that the window was activated/inactivated
• in TerminalPage, when _settings.GlobalSettings().ShowTabsInTitlebar() is true, call to MinMaxCloseControl in TitlebarControl to tell it the window is no longer active
• There, change the color of the buttons when the window is activated/deactivated.

See also #10401, which never got finished.

I'm psyched to see that #4862 was implemented. Is this still being worked on?

Is this still being worked on?

Not currently, but it seems fairly trivial these days. The plumbing in #4862 should make it trivial.

proposed "schema":

captionButtons: {
  foreground: ThemeColor,
  background: ThemeColor (default: #00000000),
  unfocusedForeground: ThemeColor,
  unfocusedBackground: ThemeColor (default: #00000000),
}

I don't really think we need to have separate knobs for each of the buttons.

I may take a stab at this one if that is ok.

@jamespack Go for it!
