    RE windows 11 feature that allows you to "focus" on one window at a time, and dims other windows. For example, I have multiple windows open, I click on one window, and the other automatically windows dim. Optimal focus goes to current active window. Practical example: When I am drafting graphics and want to cut and paste, as soon as I select snipping tool, all other windows go dim so window I wanted to snip from is darkened when I use snip tool.I turned on this feature in a setting somewhere. From memory setting was premised to make it easier to see which window was the active window. Now that

  2. Windows 7 top feature request list leaked to the public

    With Windows still managing to find its way to over 95 percent of the desktop computers sold each year, it's not surprising that one can find plenty of people interested in giving their feedback about what future versions of Windows should be able to do.

    A few years ago, before Windows Vista had even shipped, Microsoft sent out a wish list form asking people what features they would like to see in the next version of Windows, currently code-named Windows 7. The top wished-for features in this list were recently leaked to the public and have popped up at various sites (e.g., Neowin). While anonymous sources at Microsoft tell us that they bear no relationship to the actual feature set Microsoft is currently writing for Windows 7, the list does provide interesting insight into what the Windows-using public most wants from Windows.

    The features are listed in no particular order, but they break down into various categories depending on what part of Windows the feature request falls under. Many requests for improvements in Internet Explorer, such as a session restore function, are fairly obvious wishes for features that already exist in competitive products such as Firefox and Opera. Other suggestions, such as a tabbed Windows Explorer, look for features from web browsers to migrate into the general user interface.

    Some of the feature requests are clearly unrealistic, such as the desire to "back up" Xbox 360 games to the PC (yeah, I don't think Microsoft will be doing that one). Others are minor user interface enhancements that would be nice additions but wouldn't really change the Windows experience, such as a progress bar when hibernating the system. However, there are a few that make good sense and would be welcome additions to the operating system, such as a built-in video and audio codec manager.

    A Windows 7 insider who wishes to remain anonymous told Ars that the leaked feature list was gathered before any real development on Windows 7 was started, and readers should not expect to see requests from the list necessarily implemented in Microsoft’s next major Windows release.

    background windows dimmed.

    This is a windows feature. I enabled it when I went through the setup on my new laptop. Was about a month ago. I did the setup of windows 10 and then downloaded and installed Windows 11."there is this windows 10 feature that allows you to "focus" on one window at a time, and dims the background windows" since the initial setup and then the install of windows 11 I cannot find the feature now. It dims my desktop as well

    the quote from my initial e-mail was from someone who had my problem but he was using an HP laptop. Mine is not an HP so his solution will not work for me.

    Thanks for the assistance though I will check out the links
