little program called Tacky Borders.
00:00:04
With this program, you can add borders
00:00:07
around opened applications in Windows.
00:00:10
And it's actually pretty cool. By
00:00:12
default, this is how it looks. And you
00:00:13
can also customize it and all that. So,
00:00:16
this is a free and open- source
00:00:18
application actually called again techie
00:00:20
borders. The people who use tiling
00:00:22
window managers, they actually prefer
00:00:25
having borders around their opened
00:00:28
application. So this is aimed for those
00:00:31
people. But even if you don't use tiling
00:00:33
window manager, it still looks cool.
00:00:36
Okay. So to download this program, go to
00:00:39
releases and then just download the
00:00:42
latest one. It's a zip file. So download
00:00:45
it. Just click on it to download it. And
00:00:47
after that, go to your downloads folder.
00:00:49
Unzip it. Once you unzip it, run this
00:00:51
little program. You don't have to
00:00:52
install it. It's a portable program.
00:00:55
Okay? And it's going to sit in your uh
00:00:58
let me show you guys here. So as soon as
00:01:00
you run this program, you open any
00:01:02
application, you'll have borders and
00:01:05
these are the default colors. That's
00:01:07
blue, purple, and pinkish. I guess maybe
00:01:12
blue and purple. Okay. To the left side
00:01:15
we have blue color and to the right side
00:01:17
we have the purple color. And you can
00:01:19
change it to whatever you want. Okay.
00:01:22
Now you can also animate this actually.
00:01:24
Right now it's static. Okay, already
00:01:27
looks cool. And you can also change the
00:01:30
color. To do that, you actually have to
00:01:33
edit the config file of it. So find the
00:01:36
icon of tacky borders, right click and
00:01:38
click on show
00:01:40
config. Okay, once you click on that, it
00:01:43
will open a folder with config file for
00:01:46
the program. You can just edit this
00:01:49
config file. It's a YAML file. So, right
00:01:52
click, edit with whatever you want. I'm
00:01:54
just going to use the notepad. Why not?
00:01:56
You can change the colors using hex
00:01:59
code. Okay. Uh, I'm just going to So,
00:02:02
these are the colors that are being used
00:02:04
currently. So, here to animate this, you
00:02:08
can actually scroll down until you see
00:02:10
the FPS. It's disabled by default. So,
00:02:13
you can remove the false and put it
00:02:16
here. True. And just save it. And now
00:02:22
watch
00:02:23
this. Can you see
00:02:26
it? It's animated now. Okay. The colors
00:02:29
are running around. And you can change
00:02:31
the FPS to make it slower or faster.
00:02:34
Okay. So, I'm going to go 15 for
00:02:37
example. Now, it's going to go slower.
00:02:39
Or maybe let's go like five. Maybe. Now,
00:02:44
it's jittery. Actually, it doesn't go
00:02:46
slower. Yeah. It's slower. Plus, it's
00:02:49
not smooth to make it smooth. Yeah, I
00:02:51
mean you have to go like 60 fps or
00:02:53
something. Now if you animate this, it
00:02:56
will use more CPU obviously. It's not
00:02:58
using that much actually, but it's
00:03:00
constantly going to use some amount of
00:03:02
CPU like almost 1 to 2% CPU. If you
00:03:07
animate this with 60 fps, okay,
00:03:10
depending on the FPS, it will increase.
00:03:13
So let's disable this. Type in here
00:03:16
false. And I'm going to save it. Now
00:03:20
you'll see it will use less CPU. Almost
00:03:22
like 0% CPU cuz it's not animating or
00:03:25
anything like that. Inactive color,
00:03:27
active color. Okay, we're going to
00:03:29
change these. It's a Yeah, it's a
00:03:32
blueish color. Okay, active color. And
00:03:36
this is the color that is being used
00:03:38
right now. So I can go and change it to
00:03:42
let's say green. I can copy the code.
00:03:45
And we're going to go with the green and
00:03:47
red. Why not? What is this one? This
00:03:50
should be purple. Yeah, it's purplish.
00:03:54
Okay, so let's go with the red. We can
00:03:57
go deep red, too. Okay, let's just say
00:04:01
for this example, I'm going to go and
00:04:03
select that and paste this code in here.
00:04:06
Okay, and I'm going to go save it. Now,
00:04:10
look at that. Now, we have the red and
00:04:13
green like RGB color. I think we can add
00:04:17
more. Can we? Can we go with the blue
00:04:19
one too? I don't know how many we can
00:04:21
add, but let's say I'm going to go with
00:04:23
that. And let's
00:04:26
add there. We have to separate them with
00:04:29
comma. Hope it works. I added the blue
00:04:31
color,
00:04:32
too. I can Oh, I can see the blue color.
00:04:36
Yeah, we can add more colors. As many as
00:04:39
we want. Let's Let's go crazy. Uh, let's
00:04:42
add the yellow. Bright yellow. Why not?
00:04:45
Okay, now let's save it. We should get
00:04:47
the yellow too here. It's going fast
00:04:52
now. Okay. So, you can see now it's
00:04:54
animated. Look at that. I mean, you can
00:04:57
add as many colors as you want. Let's
00:05:00
check on the uh CPU. Yeah, it's still
00:05:04
the same. Okay, let's try to change the
00:05:07
FPS. Uh I don't know how fast it goes
00:05:10
when we have lower FPS. Let's go with
00:05:13
this 10. Oh, it's jittery. It's not
00:05:17
going to be smooth. Okay, so let's go
00:05:20
120 or 120. Yeah, 120 fps. Let's go with
00:05:23
that. Double it. Save. Now it's going to
00:05:26
look smooth. Look at that.
00:05:30
Okay. And it's going to use double
00:05:32
amount of CPU obviously. Okay. So, maybe
00:05:36
you should go with like 60 or 30. 30.
00:05:39
Does that look good? Let's
00:05:41
see. Yeah, that's that's good. and it's
00:05:44
going to lower the CPU usage. It's
00:05:47
almost same as the 60 fps
00:05:50
actually. Okay. So, you can fine-tune
00:05:53
the thing by yourself. So, actually I
00:05:56
prefer the default. But if you want to
00:05:58
go crazy like this, you want to add
00:06:00
seven colors and make them dance. Yeah,
00:06:03
go ahead. You can do it. Okay. It's
00:06:05
actually pretty simple. Now, can I do
00:06:07
undo? Cuz again, I like the default
00:06:10
colors. So, I'm going to do the undo.
00:06:12
How many times? I don't know. I made
00:06:15
many changes actually.
00:06:18
Okay. Okay. Yeah, it's undo is
00:06:22
working. Okay. I think we are done.
00:06:25
Yeah. Okay. Now, let's save
00:06:28
it. I actually prefer this is my
00:06:31
favorite color. Okay. I think most
00:06:33
people prefer this the color purple and
00:06:37
blue. I mean, depending on what I'm
00:06:39
trying to do. Yeah. for this. This is a
00:06:42
kind of perfect color for me. Uh I mean
00:06:44
I also don't want to animate this but I
00:06:48
mean for a show off I guess I can go and
00:06:51
animate. If you run the program normally
00:06:54
some applications won't get the borders
00:06:57
like for example taskbar didn't get the
00:07:00
border even though it's running and rest
00:07:02
of the other things or applications have
00:07:04
the border here. So in that case you
00:07:08
have to run this as administrator. Okay.
00:07:12
And it will just work with all the
00:07:16
applications and it's a portable
00:07:17
program. Uh you'll have to start it
00:07:20
every time you restart your computer.
00:07:22
But you can actually
00:07:24
uh make this program run at startup
00:07:27
automatically whenever you turn on your
00:07:30
computer. It's simple. Just add this to
00:07:32
the startup folder. That's it. or again
00:07:35
just Google it. And that's it for this
00:07:37
one. Hope you enjoyed it. But if you
00:07:39
have any questions or have any
00:07:40
suggestions for me, you can always do
00:07:42
the comment and we can have some
00:07:43
chitchat in the comment section too.
00:07:45
Yeah, that's it. I'll see you in the
00:07:46
next one. Take care of yourself and have
00:07:47
fun. Bye-bye.
