I wrote auto-dim-other-buffers.el (

which applies a "dimmed" face to non-current buffers.

It adds to post-command-hook and after-change-major-mode-hook, the first as
a catch-all "something changed" and the second as a hacky way of saying "a
new buffer just got created".

This mostly works. But sometimes new buffers are created that don't change
major modes.

Hi Steven,

AFAIU it's quite simple: there is only one buffer current, where all other will be 
subject to "dimmed".
If right, solution will not be to look what others do, but run-with-idle timer 
a routine dimming
everything except the current buffer.

Just my thoght,

Andreas


Apropos if some other buffers like *Help* should not be dimmed though, register 
them in a list.
