Thanks for the ideas.
I've made an official github repo here:
https://github.com/sdegutis/auto-dim-other-buffers.el/
The face is now customizable, with the black-background one being a dumb
default. This way, everyone can choose for themselves what will look right,
whether the background should get lighter or darker or maybe the text color
should instead.
