besides requiring kwin, this should only be done to the border if at all since
the content still needs to be readable.

the problem is that windows that aren't focussed still need to be readable. so
the list of requirements are:
- unintrusive
- free of real or perceived visual artifacts (e.g. flickering)
- non-focussed windows still need to be readable

the challenge is that the Oxy team is trying to produce a seamless
deco+widgets look so the two blend together perfectly when using kwin (or at
least the proper decoration). so the question is how to preserve *that*
effect (or at least preserve it "enough") while also showing visually a
change in focus state.
