Hi

I have googled but only find apps that dim BACKGROUND apps.

However I am looking for an app that dims all/active screens exclusion videos windows...

Basically I watch a lot of videos on my Mac but like to browse/multii task on safari or other apps but when its a light windows it creates glare and makes video hard to watch as the screens so bright :O. I had an app before on my old old old machine but can't remember what its called...

Anyone help?

I'm a little unclear on what you're looking for. You want to dim the web page a video is on but leave the video untouched? I'm not aware of any app that does that.

I use HazeOver to dim everything on the screen except the windows or app I'm working in. Is that what you mean?

I want to dim the active app and keep background apps active lol >.< Cant explain well.

So I will have a Video taking up half the screen via Safari, VLC etc and then other half of Mac will be Note taking app or Safari. I want the safari/Notetaking side to be dimmed and the Video side to be normal brightness lol

Basically I want HazeOver but in reverse lol
