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
For example, *magit-process* gets created at some point, and
