Dark mode by reducing window brightness (instead of inverting colors) #316

I use Opacity 50% as a dark mode alternative. Hope there is an option to add a dark background under a transparent window.

@fmnijk Itresting idea. What about adding overly window above the window? It should be possible to set a window above the source window.

I already did this behavior as part of the flow to select a crop region (in v5.22 beta from here https://github.com/WindowTop/WindowTop-App/releases/tag/v5.22.0 )

It looks great! I hope it could select a window / select a screen / apply on all screens.

@fmnijk Great. It looks like an easy feature since all I need to do in core functionality is copy some code from the crop feature (that does the part of showing the region to select) and modify and use it a little.

I also find it useful for my own experience. I usually avoid using the current dark mode effect because it does something too dramatic.

One day, I will probably develop it. The crop feature also started like this (someone suggested it 2 years ago).

This is very good, there are too many color reversal issues, and almost all software has some issues. If you adjust the brightness, it can have a great effect!
