Do you mean the situation where you have a buffer being displayed in more than one window?
If that’s the case, then unfortunately it’s not possible to do given the face manipulation functions we’re using. I’ve mentioned this in the “Caveats” section of the readme.
I’m happy to keep this in mind in case the emacs project maintainers someday add the flexibility we need. I agree it would be great to have.
If I’m misunderstanding and you mean something else, then please explain and I’ll take a look.
Thanks!
Yes, i am unfortunately aware of that, I also run in to that problem when I change faces for dedicated buffers.
What i am suggesting is that if you have eg. two emacs frames, frame 1 with windows for buffer A, B and C, and frame 2 with windows for buffer X, Y and Z. In frame 1, A is selected and in frame 2, Y is selected. Currently B, C, X and Z are dimmed, while both A and Y are highlighted/un-dimmed.
What I would suggest is a option that when set enables frame aware dimming, so if frame 2 is selected / has focus, then A is also dimmed so it is only Y that is highligthed. If I then switch focus to frame 1, A is highligthed while Y is dimmmed.
I don't have any suggestions if neither frame 1 or 2 are selected. I guess the frame in focus can be found with something like (selected-frame).
I see. Then that's a bug because multiple frames did work as you suggest at one point.
I'll take a look at this. I have a hunch what introduced the bug.
I just pushed a fix for this. When the next MELPA build appears can you please update and let me know if you have further problems?
Thanks for the feedback!
I think it would be nice with a feature/option so that only the selected window in the selected frame is highlighted/un-dimmed. This way only one window in all your frames will be highlighted, everything else will be dimmed.
