Perhaps you could run an informal poll on the list here to get input on
this. Personally I don't have / want any active frame highlighting,
but I'm ok with turning it off anyway, so I don't have an opinion.
See if there's a consensus that something like dimming the background of
inactive panes would be ok with most people.

To which currently unused key would you like it bound? It's always a
challenge to find unused keys.
You're referring to the new free-layout-zoom command, which I'm finding
very useful :-) for zooming not only the body but also the log (long
messages) and the tree (long headlines).

Preference tweaking is tricky, seeing preferences are personal - I
think you said you were uncomfortable messing with the settings, but I
encourage you to try some changes, Settings -> Personal settings
creates a file "myLeoSettings.leo" in $HOME/.leo, if you mess it up
completely you can always delete it and start fresh. For example for
the current items you could do the following in that file.
Add, under the @settings node, a node
@data qt-gui-user-style-sheet
with this body content:
QTextEdit#log-widget, LeoQTreeWidget#treeWidget, QTextEdit#richTextEdit {
background: pink;
}
QTextEdit:focus#log-widget, LeoQTreeWidget:focus#treeWidget,
QTextEdit:focus#richTextEdit {
background: green;
}
and in the node @settings / @keys / @shortcuts add something like
free-layout-zoom = Ctrl-Alt-L
to the body to bind pane zoom to Ctrl-Alt-L
