Looks like all are gone. Will check out the app when i get home. I think this will help with what i have been wanting for awhile.

Thanks though.

UPDATE 2: Some time ago I sent some codes to bloggers. Unused codes are expiring soon and I'm going to give them away as well. Please comment if you'd like to get HazeOver.

I love this app. I gladly paid $3.99 when I saw it, as I've been wanting something like this for awhile.

Question: any evidence of increased battery life due to the lowered brightness on a portion of the screen?

I was sitting in a dark room with my MBP at full brightness and noticed how bright the windows are when they're focused and you have the dim set sufficiently high. There's gotta be at least SOME savings, right?

Thank you. I don't think MBPs have local backlight dimming in their LCDs. AFAIK only big expensive TVs do and MBPs displays are to thin to fit that =)

Just tested the App and I really loved it. I was searching for something like this for quite sometime, as I tend to have a lot of windows open and this app helps me to focus on only one at a time. Simple and efficient =) Thanks !

Thank you. That's exactly what it is made for. I'm glad you like it.

been looking for this for ages. Just happily paid $4. Feature request - I'd like to be able to turn it on/off per monitor.

Thank you. The update I have mentioned includes better support for multiple monitors. I.e. each screen would wave its own highlighted window. Would that help in your case?
