Hi, I was trying to find a way to darked/ turn off monitors not used when a fullscreen application is launched, such as a video game or movie.

I have 3 monitors but for most applications I only use one when playing games. Currently I am manually turning off the side monitors to better focus on the game, but I was wondering if there was a setting somewhere I could use to do this automatically. This would be perfect I was able to choose the applications I would like this to effect.

Has anybody come across a solution?

You can acheive this with Stardocks WindowsFX5. There are varing degrees of how dark the inactive windows can be from slightly dark to blacked out.
The app isnt free, it costs $9.99 but it does what I want it to so worth the money IMO.

Keith,

This function is awesome, and it's cool to see scripted functionality extend the already amazing usefulness of DisplayFusion.

That said, I can't seem to figure out how I might modify the amount of alpha applied to the windows.

I am not particularly familiar with C#, or Windows functions, but I do see a variable declared in class TransparentForm that indicates it tells us "what transparency to use". It looks like it's passed '30m' up above in method 'forms.Add(new TransparentForm(id, 30m))' ??

But '30m' is not a decimal...

Changing it to 29 or 31 appeared to work without complaint, but didn't really affect the amount of transparency. Other values seemed to crash the function (hilariously, the function catches errors and simply discards them - I guess I could pass the errors, but I'm not sure what that would do to DisplayFusion itself).

Can you give me any hints?

edit: I commented out the catch, replaced it with a finally, and it indeed crashed DisplayFusion Settings.
