Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Can we have a setting in the **Grab And Move** module to enable/disable the window highlight while dragging/resizing? Currently the window highlight cannot be disabled if I wanted to. The highlight is too distracting.
### Scenario when this would be used?
While this new **Grab And Move** module is fantastically awesome long-awaited capability in Windows, the first implementation is quite lacking in configurability. At least a setting to disable/enable the window highlight while dragging/resizing would be far more useful.
### Supporting information

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Grab And Move module and reading how its window highlight is handled during dragging and resizing. Add a setting that controls whether the highlight is enabled, then verify that both enabled and disabled behavior work as requested.
