Description
Currently, electron-terminal-window changes its border color to red when focused.
This doesn't look great when two windows are adjacent. It also relies on BrowserWindow.on('focus/blur') which causes some issues when switching windows fast.
Would be great if electron-terminal-window would expose an API to let you change the color of every one of its four sides, and then some other library (screen-grid?) would use it to make sure adjacent windows only have one line, and that the focused window would be will be one color (red?) while the other panes are another (green?).

Research direction
Start by inspecting electron-terminal-window's existing BrowserWindow focus/blur handling and how screen-grid uses pane borders. Define the per-side color API and verify that adjacent panes share only one visible line, with distinct focused and unfocused colors; done means the behavior works reliably during rapid window switching.
