It would be great if there was a way for DF to adjust window transparency based on if the window had focus or not.

If the window did not have focus then set transparency to X %
When you bring the window into focus DF changes the transparency to Y %

just wondering if you know when this feature might make it into a release?
v5 just came out but I didn't see anything mentioned about this in the change log.

We don't have an ETA for it yet, but we'll be sure to post an update when we've had a chance to look into it further.

Thanks!

Not yet, but it's still on our open feature request list, so I'll be sure to post an update when there is one :)

Thanks!

Hey Keith, Another DF user here with interest in this feature. Just wondering if there is any progress here, is it still on the list?

Thanks so much!

Is this ever going to make it into the product?

so it's been 3 and a half years now.
Will this feature EVER make it into DF?

I notice that DF 8 is out now. Would 'triggers' be the way to replicate this functionality?

We've been trying to write a scripted function that would do this, but it's been very unreliable. We're still working on it when we have time, and if we're able to get it working reliably, we'll definitely post an update.

Thanks!

I don't understand this answer. I've looked at the triggers functionality. You have a trigger for window focus, but not a trigger for a window de-focused.

Why have 1 and not the other?

There's a global message that gets sent when a window gets focused, but not when a window loses focus. (i.e. DisplayFusion gets notified by Windows when a window gets focus, but not when it loses focus).

We have a couple of ideas on how we could work around that to create a "Window Focus Lost" Trigger Event though. If we're able to make it work, we'll definitely add that in for the next version.

Could you guys try running this Scripted Function from a Window Focused Trigger? Make sure the Process Name in the Trigger Match Conditions is set to *.*

This guy.. This guy right here is awesome! Works great! Is there anyway to trigger on mouse over?

Thank you for the awesome work!

Glad you like it! Unfortunately getting it to work on mouse over would require mouse hooks which aren't suited to Scripted Functions, but I will add a feature request to our list for a "mouse over" Trigger Event. If we're able to add that in a future version, we'll be sure to let you know :)

Thanks!
