FR: change the appearance of non current windows (in split view)

[VKondakoff]

Hi!

Currently the only way to distinguish between current and non current window in split view is setting a special color to a statusline when it's window is non current.

As far as I see there are other ways to do this. What about adding an options:

1. Use alt background color when window is non current (dim the color a little)
2. Disable the cursor line highlighting when window is non current

Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure this may be a great QoL enhancement. What do you think?

Hi, I think this is a good config option to have! I've been trying out the alternate background color, and so far it looks like this:

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to change the SignColumn and CursorLine individually when the window is non current. Do you know of any?

Hey, this looks quite good. I don't really know a way to change SignColumn and CursorLine when window is non active - this was just a quick idea... But setting the bg to cursor line color seems quite good workaround...

[rmehri01]

No problem, yeah I think this could be included for now and I'll see if I can do anything about the SignColumn!

Oh, I just changed it to none and it worked! Turns out I was overcomplicating things.

Ha-ha! 👍

Thanks again for the suggestion!
