Description
Feature Request
There really should be some visual differentiation between lists/columns.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now it looks like cards more or less just hover in an empty space, with no indication given that they belong to a column and are supposed to be dragged between them. I'm all for minimalist design but it should never come at the expense of usability.
Additional context
I think I read a discussion where the Nextcloud design guidelines were given as a reason for not doing this, but I can't find it anymore. If I have not imagined said discussion, I would like to add that I don't think that this is a sufficient reason at all to not at least add a very subtle visual differentiation. Maybe how widgets in the Nextcloud Dashboard app are designed could be used as a reference.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current card and column UI in the Deck project, then compare it with the Nextcloud design guidelines and Dashboard app widgets mentioned in the issue. Define a subtle visual distinction that makes column membership and drag targets clear; done should include an agreed design and an implementation that improves usability without conflicting with the guidelines.
