Zorin 18 Disable Out of Focus Window Dimming

[GThib]

Greetings,

How to achieve the effect in the Subject?

It completely make useless any possibility to use eyedropper or a colour picker to choose a exact colour from the screen object.

Thank you in advance

I found this older thread. I'm not at the computer in the moment but you could try this:

Disable window dimming when focus is lost

Hi, I have a problem with what seems to be a feature, and I'd like to disable it. When I use multiple windows (terminal windows for example), when a window loses focus it dims, making it difficult to read text. I use multiple monitors, and I'd like to be able to read text from multiple windows at the same time without straining my eyes. Is there a way to disable this dim-on-lost-focus feature?

Thank you.

Did you find a way to do it? I tried the solutions of the linked thread with Zorin 18 live stick, but they didn´t work.
I looked what is the content for .background of my used Zorin blue light theme gtk 3.0 and put it into a file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
at
.background:backdrop
I did the same for gtk 4.0 of my Zorin theme (there were other contents) and
put it into a file ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css at
.background:backdrop

It didn´t work. Then I tried with
window.background.backdrop
but didn´t change anything.

Then I edited the Zorin theme at /usr/share/themes/ZorinBlue-Light directly and copied the content of background to background.backdrop, but it didn´t help.

I'm at a loss what could help to solve this.

Now I found a way, that unfocused windows are better readable
but this changes the appearance of the windows considerably. I'm not sure if you like this. There is less dimming as in normal mode.

You can go to Accessibility > Seeing
and enable "High contrast"

Perhaps it would also be sufficient for your purposes to simply change the window focus at Zorin appearance > Windows > Focus and select there "Focus on Hover" or "Focus Follows Mouse"
