Awkward, maybe, but I'd hardly call it slow.  It's still not the kind
of thing you want to do all the time, though, and you wouldn't want to
be doing it at all in a real-life application environment.

You do know, don't you, that (a) you can tailor the amount of
decoration on a per-client and per-clientClass basis, using defaults
(b) you can do it programmatically (c) normally, the border *does*
light up when the window has focus.
