-# [213_22] Replace focus border with translucent background
-
-Issue: https://github.com/MoganLab/mogan/issues/2759
-
-Replace the cyan border (`#0ff`) used to indicate focused structures (tables, math formulas, etc.) with a translucent background fill, improving visual clarity and reducing distraction.
-
-## Changes
-- `src/Typeset/Env/env_default.cpp`: Changed `FOCUS_COLOR` from `#0ff` (opaque cyan, 4-digit) to `#00ffff1a` (translucent cyan, 9-digit with alpha)
-- `src/Edit/Interface/edit_interface.cpp`: In `compute_env_rects`, when generating `foc_rects` (non-recursive mode), use `thicken(sel->rs, 0, 2 * pixel)` instead of `outlines(sel->rs, pixel)` to produce filled rectangles rather than border outlines
-- `src/Edit/Interface/edit_repaint.cpp`: Use `draw_selection` instead of `draw_rectangles` for `foc_rects` rendering under Qt
