One of the nice things about XFCE is that its window manager includes a style called “Kokodi” (on CentOS 8 Streaming) which shows the active or focused window with a distinctive blue title bar.
I’ve found that many other window managers (including MS Windows), don’t make this visually obvious (i.e., there’s little difference between the focused and non-active windows) which makes it harder to discern which application is currently active while using multiple monitors.

If you picked your favourite shade of dark wine red as your GTK_ACCENT_COLOR (might have been called something else, I forget), then highlighted things like buttons, selected text, and the title bar of the active window only would be that color. I loved the old flexibility of being able to choose the shape of my buttons, title bars and widgets and then tweak the color myself - "I like that theme's rounded buttons, but I want them in red not blue" kind of thing.
