Hi, I have 3 monitors and sometimes I get onto virtual presentations (WebEx, etc.) where I'd like to focus on the presentation. Would it be possible to implement a feature which basically blacks out the other screens (or dims them a lot) so that I can focus on the one screen? It could also be helpful if I'm working away on one screen and I'd like to focus on that for a while without any distractions.

This functionality is already implemented. In Settings select 'Functions', then select 'Download scripted' and download the required script. https://www.displayfusion.com/ScriptedFunctions/View/?ID=88401b66-9fbc-4a07-8fcb-ba4bbb3c3b4f

That's excellent - thanks!

For others that may see it, I updated the script so that it's more than the 30% dim level for all of the windows - the code to look for is: "new TransparentForm(id, 30m)"

There's actually a Scripted Function that does this!
This functionality is now available using a Scripted Function. We've written an example one for you. Here's how to set it up:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click the "Download Scripted" button
Double-click the script named "Dim All Monitors Except Primary"
Give it a key combination and click OK
Optionally, select it, click "Toggle TitleBar Button" (to add it to the caption bar of every application)
Click Apply and test it out

Hope that helps!
