Honer For Mac

Honer is a tiny Mac OS X application designed to display a border around the focused window as soon as you switch to it.

The Honer utility is targeted towards users that might have their vision impaired, or who work with tiled windows on their desktop.

In short, Honer puts a thick red border on the edges of the selected window, which is usually at the forefront of your desktop.

To change the Honer border's default appearance, make sure to open its Preferences window via the associated status bar menu.

If you are using a tiling window manager (and all windows are on the same layer), this app highlights the focused window, making it much easier to know what app/window is selected.

Within the Honer Preferences window, you can effortlessly adjust the border’s appearance. You get to change the default color (with the help of a default color picker window) as well as transparency and width by adjusting a pair of sliders.

Besides the border functionality and Preferences window, the Honer app provides a menu bar item to quickly access its Preferences window. You can also use the menu item to Quit the app when you don’t want to see borders around windows anymore.

To conclude, Honer might come in handy to you for a number of reasons. It helps you spot the focused window on your desktop more easily, thus letting you give commands to the selected app without wondering whether it’s selected or not.

At the same time, Honer can help visually impaired users distinguish the focused window from the rest at a glance, without any strain.
