Containers in tiling window managers like Sway are a bit confusing because they are invisible.
#146 would help some because it visually offsets adjacent hints so that they at least don't run together.
Still, it could be clearer which hints belong to a container and which belong to a window. I propose this solution:
Hints for containers should have a visible border around the hint
The hint for the current container or window has inverted coloring. It should have an inverted border color.
Since a container might be itself as visualized as a border, this seems like a useful hint.
#75 is example issue report where it it wasn't clear that a container was hinted. Instead it appeared that the window had a four character hint.
With Sway, it appears that containers are found in the get_tree output where window is null and app_id is null or missing. Also, containers have a child nodes array of non-zero length, while application windows have a zero-length nodes array.
