I do have one issue with Inactive Windows on the RC of Windows FX 4 - Sticky Notes running and active causes the desktop to lose focus- even though technicially, it "sits" on the desktop, and is a desktop app. I guess . Can this be fixed? This appears to be the only gadget that has this issue. Working great otherwise  :)

An add-on to my last comment - would love to see a feature where you can check a box to Never have the desktop itself dim  and also perhaps a separate slide that controls the dimming for the desktop. (I am encountering other issues when working with the desktop and folders, dragging/droppping - I believe this was mentioned before)

I think WindowFX looks great. I would love if the inactive window functionality could also be applied by keystroke only as a "Concentration" feature -- That is, I may not want windows to be dimmed/blurred in the background all the time. But sometimes (like when you have to concentrate on the document you're typing in your word processor), you may want to invoke the Concentration features. It would be great if you could just hit Ctrl-W or something to enable it. On a related note to @Diamond12a, it would be great to have an "Exclusion" list of programs to exclude from the inactive window effects -- e.g., the desktop, Fences, Sticky Notes, etc. (I think WindowBlinds has such a list.) Great work!!!
