If this sounds like your week
Dark IDE themes, high-contrast needs, and multi-monitor gamma all demand adjustable chrome—not one neon outline.
Where tooling usually breaks
Without audio or color change, users Alt-Tab to “check” pinning—defeating the purpose.
User-facing knobs
Border: #RRGGBB hex Thickness: pixel stroke width Audio: short confirmation WAV/system sound Invalid hex: safe fallback color path
Where PinPoint lands
Set border palette precisely, tune thickness for retina vs 1080p density, bind hotkeys, and optionally play concise cues on successful pin state transitions.
