WindowFX improvements and bugs

Feature requests

WindowFX is quite underrated and works very well with Windows 10.

But after using it for a while there are some things that would make it even better:

  • When using the darkening function it would be nice to have a fast fade transition when darkening/lighting instead of instant.
  • When using the darkening function and using Alt-Tab all windows are no longer darkened and remain that way until you click somewhere (bug?).
  • It would be fantastic (but probably impossible) if an overlapped area of a window can fade in over the other window when receiving focus.
  • The 'Blur the background' feature is nice, but the blurring is pretty heavy. It would be great to have a slider to choose how much blur you want. Maybe also a setting to _only_ blur the desktop background and not all other windows.
  • When using the darkening function, would it be possible to 'remember' the last focussed window in a multimonitor environment, so that every monitor will have one non-darkened window?
  • When using the darkening function it would be nice to lighten the window below the mousecursor and darken it again when the cursor moves away. A fade transition would be nice here as well.

I think WindowFX is not being developed on much anymore but do hope it will be updated because it's a great productivity tool!

Thanks,
Marc
