Hi,

Besides the border color, I think this pull request is really useful when using
the monocle layout. As clearing the urgent flag one could miss that not
visible urgent window. Though it's only visible viewing another tag...
I'll write a pull request to display the urgent hint using the taskbar pull request
Nibble sent once. Btw, I tweaked it a bit to display only tiled windows,
only when a tiled window is selected, and only in monocle.

That is, when I find some time to do so...

Regards,
