I have been using [toxy/tot] for this which is unfortunately deprecated and can't be found anymore although the external that was included in Pd-extended still works for me on Debian. I'd love to find an alternative as well.

Hi all
Is there a way to sense whether a parent-level window is active? By
"active" I mean that the window is in focus with the title bar highlighted.
[cyclone/active] is able to sense whether the current window is active,
but I specifically need to know if the parent (grandparent, etc) window is active.
Solutions involving externals are welcome.
