I would agree that this makes sense. "confusing and ugly" is a bit unclear
itself. Confusing probably because it is red, which is usually used to indicate
error (novel or occasional users may not be aware that it is "just" focus).
Ugly because the red is quite strong and may not match the theme’s colors. 

However, since focus seems to be very important here and because it was
indicated that some themes don't show focus well it may make sense to go with a
custom solution here (OK, actually the themes should be fixed, but thats not in
scope). 

Would it be possible to get the themes highlight color (if that is a thing
themes have) and use this? So on ubuntu the frames would be strong orange, on
fedora blue etc.
