Hi,

I'm looking for FocusLayer, which dims the screen except the frontmost window. I couldn't find it on Versiontracker, nor anywhere else on the Web. It looks so cool!

Regards,
Daniel

As I recall, there where two versions - One written by Gul Banana and one by 1010011 (or someone).

Yes, I think his was just called "Focus". Mine's a bit more finished, but they both do essentially the same thing, using the same methods, as we developed them at the same time, for the same reason - someone suggested it in a thread in the Developer forum.

What happened to your web site?
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

I forgot about it for a while, since I was busy with work. Came back to find my iDisk had been mysteriously wiped:/ Since I have my own server now, at some point I'll re-set it up in a better location, but for now the old links to software still work (though really, FocusLayer and kpdecode are the only things people would be interested in).

Sounds like you are busy, but if you get the chance could you add the ability to set a keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off?

For me, it would make the program so much more useful.

Thanks.

Yeah, me ... Gul Banana, those were some good times. We should come up w/ a new idea and do it again one day, eh?
