Just put a noticeable border around the window with focus, even if it is windowed, maximized, or full-screen.ĭownload the script from post #22 and open it in notepad. The Sandboxie solution seems to me to be the best solution. So this turned out to be a not-very-good solution.

While this sounded like a good solution on paper, it was actually pretty irritating because it took a few seconds to do the graying even with an i7 (apparently it took a lot of resources), and the contents of some of the Windows got screwed up with the graying (moire patterns, or odd pixelization). I tried Actual Multiple Monitors (I think it was) which had an option to gray all the windows that were not in focus. This is not always true, but often it is true, and this solution, while not perfect, would be a big help. Work at the monitor level instead of the window level, because if I know I'm looking at the right monitor it's pretty easy to know which window has focus.

If Sandboxie can do it for its own window, can Display Fusion manage this for all windows?ģ. I watch movies in Sandboxie just because I know if I see the yellow border, my keystrokes will control the movie, and not screw with my emails, which I frequently check while I'm watching movies. What is important is that Sandboxie puts a yellow border around its window when it has focus. Sandboxie runs a program in a sandbox, so when you close it everything that program has modified is deleted and reset back to where you were. On my Windows machine I use a program called Sandboxie. Put some sort of border around the window with focus. It seemed like it was going to work, but caused huge problems during certain pop-ups. Windows actually has a setting to do this under 'accessibility', and it does not solve this problem well. This way, you know that if you see the mouse over the same window, you can start typing. If you move the mouse over a different window, that new window gets the focus. Ensure the window under the mouse is the window with focus. I see 3 approaches to solving this, there may be more.ġ. I have deleted files, sent empty emails, and taken many screenshots of the wrong window because my keystrokes went to the wrong window.

I find myself clicking many extra unnecessary times before I start typing to make sure the typing will go to the window I'm looking at and the mouse is over. Knowing which window has focus is the biggest difficulty for me with multiple monitors.

I have 4 monitors on Windows 7 at home, and 4 monitors on a Mac at work.
