The way I did this was to add a panel in the folder then resize the panel to fit your screen, remember to change the number of rows of the panel(long press on the panel then choose panel settings then choose layout) then place your apps in the panel. Now when you open the folder it should dim.

It can be done with scripting.
The value to change is bgColor in Desktops propertyset

Lukas Morawietz i don’t know about scripting.

Set this to resumed event of folder:
LL.getCurrentDesktop().getProperties().edit().setInteger(“bgColor”,0x80000000).commit();
Set this to paused event of folder:
LL.getCurrentDesktop().getProperties().edit().setInteger(“bgColor”,0x00000000).commit();

Lukas Morawietz ok, will try. Scripting is just possible in extreme Version, or? Then I will buy it. Danke dir schon mal. 😉

< ![CDATA[
Ja, geht nur in Extreme. Ist das Geld aber echt wert…
For those not speaking German:
Yes, scripting only in extreme version. But it’s worth the money.

Just something I want to add:
Lukas’s script will change the color of the background of the folder itself.
What I think Frank want is to tint a bit the screen outside the folder. Am I right? Because unfortunately you can’t do this, even with scripting. The only thing is to place a full screen folder with the items inside, or something similar. Sorry.

It will tint the desktop wallpaper, nothing in the folder.

Of course the icons remain as light as before.
this is why I discovered the thing with the folder borders, I searched for another solution.

Oh, true, didn’t notice. 😉

I have found a better solution.
It looks good, as long as you don’t use transparent bars, like everything with tinting.
Create an item (e.g. ligthning action: do nothing), set it’s label to “bg”, detach and pin it, hide the label and the icon and set the content color to fully opaque black.
Set to folders resume:
var d=LL.getCurrentDesktop();
var i=d.getItemByLabel(“bg”);
var p=i.getProperties();
d.setItemZIndex(i.getId(),d.getItems().getLength()-1);
i.setSize(d.getWidth(),d.getHeight());
var i=0;
var a=function()
{
i+=10;
p.edit().setInteger(“i.alpha”,i).commit();
if(i<150)setTimeout(a,0);
}
a();
Set to folders paused:
var p=LL.getCurrentDesktop().getItemByLabel(“bg”).getProperties();
var i=150;
var a=function()
{
i-=10;
p.edit().setInteger(“i.alpha”,i).commit();
if(i>0)setTimeout(a,0);
}
a();

It is really good!
You should post it in the script section (of the community, perhaps some other have suggestions)

Ok, sounds good, but I don’t know if it works on my setup, because I have only one desktop screen with 2 zooper widgets. The 2 widgets fill the full screen. Do you think it works?
And just another question Lukas Morawietz. Normally I can tap on any empty place of the screen to close a folder, but my screen is full with these two widgets therefore I can’t use this Funktion to close the folder. Is there a way to do this?

If you didn’t change it’s action, the back button should close the topmost folder.
Yes it will work also on filled screens, just transparent bars are not colored….
