Description
I've tried using borders (RIP) and opacity to distinguish the currently active window, but I've always noticed a strange issue. It seems that there's always 1 active window per display. That is, if I have `active_window_opacity` set to `1.0`, and `normal_window_opacity` set to `0.8`, every monitor has a non-translucent window. This makes it difficult to tell which monitor has focus. Is there a way to enable a "global" active window?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the per-display opacity behavior with active_window_opacity and normal_window_opacity, then trace the window-focus handling to determine how a global active window could be selected and verify that only the focused window is distinguished.
