I think hooks.current_screen_change will do what you want. You can see
the (very convoluted) logic in libqtile/widget/groupbox.py's
hook_response() on how exactly to use it.

There is also the this_current_screen_boder param for groupbox that
may be useful as well.

Ideally we'd only have one window with a focus border at a time. There
is a patchset to do this, but it hasn't been rebased in a while and it
broke a bunch of tests when I last tried it. Let me know if you want
and I can point you to it.
