A possible simplistic suggestion could be to mark the borders of the page with a solid (and/or darker) line instead of the current dashed one. That in effect would make it rather obvious what's in focus. I haven't looked at the code, but my guess is that the dashed lines are drawn once and not worried about. If that is the case, one could simply superimpose a solid (or darker/thicker) line on the focused page borders (if the user opted for it) at the expense of a couple of pixels from neighboring pages (ie. their edges).
