Description
Get rid of distraction. Let this tiny app emphasize an active window by fading out inactive ones.
* Watch Demo Video at HazeOver.com *
Heavy multi-tasking kills your concentration. All that tweets, emails, chat messages and lolcats staring back at you in the background. They strive for your attention. And you only have that much of it.
Don't let yourself drown in scores of open windows. Hiding, switching, looking for the right one, more hiding, more switching. Calm down, breathe in, breathe out, launch HazeOver and finally focus on what's you've been up to.
HazeOver automatically highlights an active window or app when you switch windows. The less important things gently fade away in the background, improving your attention.
Set the hazing intensity and speed to your liking. Be it a soft dimming, an undemanding hint of focus. Or a powerful dark background for outright dedication to your current task.
More to come. Stay tuned. Stay focused.

v1.2.60 pretty much useless on 10.7.2
I agree with sforichard below.
For me, it worked only in my first workspace. On every other workspace, all the windows stayed at regular brightness and did not dim.
V1.2.60 is very BUGGY with Lion 10.7.2
Simply doesn't work as advertised, not even close. It seems to be a totally confused app (as to which is active window), especially when switching under mission control.
Very inconsistent
This app only seems to work about half of the time. Apparently it just doesn't work if certain apps are open and doesn't seem to work if you have other apps "hidden." It's really dissappointing to pay anything for an app (even $1.99) and have it be as unreliable as this.
