I will look to pr an option to change the color but, as a temporary solution, you can

m_activeColor = QColor(_, _, _);

where the underscores are your desired rgb values

  • from the repo root run
make build
make install
make restart-kwin-x11

and you should see your color be set as the active window color 😄

    auto colorsConfig = KSharedConfig::openConfig("kdeglobals");
    auto group = colorsConfig->group("Colors:Window");
    m_activeColor = group.readEntry("DecorationFocus", QColor(255, 0, 0));
    m_inactiveColor = group.readEntry("BackgroundNormal", QColor(0, 0, 0));

If you use nixos you can fork the repository and submit a commit that changes the border color, then apply an override to pkgs.libsForQt5.bismuth:

{pkgs, ...}: {
  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    # @see https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/stdenv/stdenv/#:~:text=As described in the Nix manual, almost any,so that certain other setup can take place.

      }))
  ];
