I think you mean option 1 here. Correct?

Option 2:

Option 1 is super simple to implement. Use colored squares mode to fill the cards along the edges of the screen. Blue and Black are in the color palette supported by colored squares. You can POKE the following 8 values in the appropriate places in #BACKTAB[] to get the desired effect.

I meant to attach this reference to colored-square encoding.

EDIT: I had made an error in my hex calculation earlier. Updated diagram.

Here's a Q&D BASIC program demonstrating.

CLS
MODE 0,6,6,6,6
WAIT

CONST CSQ_UpperLeftCorner  = $1049
CONST CSQ_UpperRightCorner = $1209
CONST CSQ_LowerRightCorner = $1248
CONST CSQ_LowerLeftCorner  = $1241
CONST CSQ_TopEdge          = $1009
CONST CSQ_RightEdge        = $1208
CONST CSQ_BottomEdge       = $1240
CONST CSQ_LeftEdge         = $1041

FOR I = 1 TO 19
    #BACKTAB(I      ) = CSQ_TopEdge
    #BACKTAB(I + 220) = CSQ_BottomEdge
NEXT I

FOR I = 20 TO 200 STEP 20
    #BACKTAB(I   ) = CSQ_LeftEdge
    #BACKTAB(I+19) = CSQ_RightEdge
NEXT I

#BACKTAB(  0) = CSQ_UpperLeftCorner
#BACKTAB( 19) = CSQ_UpperRightCorner
#BACKTAB(220) = CSQ_LowerLeftCorner
#BACKTAB(239) = CSQ_LowerRightCorner

here: GOTO here

I was thinking of the extreme "hardware" border area, is there anything that can be done in that space?

 

Thanks.

The diagram below illustrates where the blue stripe is in the screen shot above. If I understood correctly, you want to do something with the yellow area in this diagram. Is that correct?

You can change the border color to some other solid border color. That's it. It's outside the 20x12 grid.
