Hi and thanks for the feedback :)

What do you mean by gradient?

Here's for example some from the internet, but not sure how that would help with what you describe?

Sorry for not explaining clearly. What I mean by gradient is that the reminder gradually dims the screen, rather than suddenly switching to the rest interface. For example, when switching to a black background, the scene slowly changes from gray to black, or from a transparent state to a non-transparent state.

and thanks for your work, it's great.

Gotcha, transparency is already there and user can set specific value. But I like the idea: we could have few seconds interval where we would start with full transparency up to set value. Now sure if that would work as at least for me on Linux transparency is working who knows when :)
