I don't have anything for Windows in general but for websites, I use the
Stylus plugin (works in chrome and firefox). I have one line in my Stylus
stylesheet to set the focus indicator and it works for every website I
visit. Really nice for showing the current focus location.

*:focus {outline: #f0f 4px solid !important}

This says for every element (*) that can receive focus (:focus), make the
outline purple (#FF00FF), 4px, and solid and override (!important) anything
else the page does for outline.
