    Borders for open folders.


    I sometimes have several open folders on the desktop.

    It can be confusing since there are no borders to indicate where the edge of an overlap is.

    I there any way to add borders to open folders?

    Or colour its background?

    Hi, this is mine if of any interest- I've used the same thing from Win 8 on. All colours configurable.
    The same applies to most Open/save dialogues too.
