auto-dim-other-buffers.el
The `auto-dim-other-buffers-mode' is a global minor mode which makes non-current buffer less prominent making it more apparent which window has a focus.
The preferred way to install the mode is by installing a package form MELPA:
M-x package-install RET auto-dim-other-buffers RET
Once installed, the mode can be turned on (globally) with:
M-x auto-dim-other-buffers-mode RET
To make the mode enabled every time Emacs starts, add the following to Emacs initialisation file (~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el):
(add-hook 'after-init-hook (lambda ()
(when (fboundp 'auto-dim-other-buffers-mode)
(auto-dim-other-buffers-mode t))))
To configure how dimmed buffers look like, customise
auto-dim-other-buffers-face
. This can be accomplished by:
M-x customize-face RET auto-dim-other-buffers-face RET
