# Customize global config options
global:
  border_width: 2 # Width of the border
  border_offset: -1 # How close the border is to the window edges
  border_radius: -1 # Radius of the corners. Leave it at -1 to let tacky-borders handle the radius or set your own custom value.

  active_color:
    colors: ["#cd7271", "#5a606e"]
    direction:
      start: [0.0, 0.0] # [0.0, 0.0] is the top left corner (windows api is weird like that)
      end: [1.0, 1.0] # [1.0, 1.0] is the bottom right corner
  #active_color: "#7F7FD5"

  #inactive_color: "#575660" # Color of unfocused windows. Currently supports a hex code like "#ffffff" or "accent" (and now gradients!)
