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! ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#18 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 17:20:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#18 DisplayFusion This guy.. This guy right here is awesome! Works great! Is there anyway to trigger on mouse over?

Thank you for the awesome work! ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#17 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 18:35:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#17 DisplayFusion 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 *.* ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#16 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:08:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#16 DisplayFusion 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. ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#15 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:37:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#15 DisplayFusion

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? ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#14 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 19:40:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#14 DisplayFusion We've been trying to write a scripted function that would do this, but it's been very unreliable.

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? ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#12 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:11:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#12 DisplayFusion

Interesting idea! I've added this to our feature request list.

Thanks!

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. ]]> RE: window transparency when focused https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#2 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:19:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-transparency-when-focused/?ID=72d7d747-afec-4af5-93b2-e53ea0af149e#2 DisplayFusion Interesting idea!

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 % ]]>
