You don't need my permission; patches are always welcome!

My preference would be to not lighten or darken windows at all, and use
something else to show selection, like how macOS does it. Then we don't even
need to add a new user-facing setting.

But it's your patch, so you get to choose. :) Once you have something working,
please submit it on https://phabricator.kde.org/

Exactly, you are actually having the same feedback when you select a windows
with dark windows as with fully bright windows. I would like to help you
implementing that feature. Do I have green light?

The idea is that when you mouse over a window, it becomes bright, to show that
it's selected.

But I see what you mean, it's a bit dim. And not only Windows 10 that keeps
them bright all the time; macOSalso keeps then un-darkened during a Present
Windows operation. In macOS, selection is denoted by a blue border and the a
floating box showing the window title.

While a user-facing option would resolve this issue, it may be worth revisiting
the default state as well, so that people don't feel like they have to tweak
anything.
