Dimmer darkens screen after closing fullscreen RDP or switching apps on another monitor

[JuanDouglas]

I noticed an issue with Spootlight Dimmer (v0.8.2) on Windows 11 Pro 25H2.

Steps to reproduce:

Open an RDP session in fullscreen or open a program on a different monitor while continuing to use the main screen via keyboard.

Close the RDP session or switch back to the main screen.

Current behavior:
The screen where the RDP/program was running becomes darkened by the dimmer, even though it shouldn’t.

Expected behavior:
The screen should remain bright after closing RDP or switching apps.

Additional info:

Issue occurs only with fullscreen RDP or apps on a secondary monitor.

Windowed RDP or normal single-screen usage works as expected.

Thanks for taking a look at this! 😊

There were many issues on v0.8.2 related to focus because it could not detect UWP programs properly. Could you check again on the current version (v0.8.11)?

Keep in mind though that the program is expected to always highlight the window that currently has keyboard focus. So if you have an app open on monitor 1 and then open another app on monitor 2 and then close it with the mouse, Windows will usually send the focus back to latest window focused - therefore monitor 1 will be highlighted even though the mouse and the last action happened on monitor 2 (but if you type anything it will go to the app on monitor 1, so that would be the proper behavior).

Also, sorry for the delay, notifications were not active for this repo, apparently so I've only seem this issue now.
