Window Dimming

Everything fades into the dark except the window you are working on. Tune the dim intensity, tint color and transition animation freely.

Profiles

Save dim intensity, tint, animation and focus settings as profiles. Switch with one hotkey, or let the system appearance pick the profile for you.
