Hi Tycho,

thanks for the quick reply!

I think hooks.current_screen_change will do what you want. You can see

That's very helpful! I'll try to hook into that.

Yes, I found that - it doesn't help when trying to find out which screen is 
active, though.

After writing the message I figured out the root problem is not the 
currently active *screen* but *window*. The thin blue focus line only shows 
up in the Stack layout for me, not with Max (which I mostly use). I'll try 
to find ways of highlighting the active window in all layouts and more 
visibily, that might just solve the problem for me. The patchset sounds 
interesting, if you still have the link I'll be happy to take a look at it.
