Introduction
There's many plugins that change the general window opacity, but I found that none of them seem to work for me when it comes to changing the "Dim" background window style to fully opaque. I wanted to avoid the partially transparent windows and also didn't want there to be a gradient, so I found the functions that define the dimmed window opacities and wrote a little plugin that overwrites them to use dynamic values.

Features

1. Plugin Parameters to set the dimmed windows' content opacity and the opacity of the gradient that surrounds it
2. Plugin Commands to change these settings on the fly and to reset them back to your plugin parameter values

I have tested this plugin together and without Visustella's Message Core plugin and it works fine with that (I put mine below Visu's), but I cannot guarantee compatibility with future versions of their plugin or any other plugin. If you are having difficulty getting my plugin to work, try putting it on the bottom or the top of the plugin list - it overwrites two base functions from rmmz_managers.js (the ones that return the dimmed window sprite colors), so any other plugins that overwrite or override those could cause problems with it.

How to Use

• Download the javascript file, put it into your project's "plugins" folder
• Enable it via the plugin manager
• Set the desired default values
• If needed, use the provided plugin commands to change the settings on the fly

If you need a reminder, the plugin's Help section has some detailed info on what this plugin does and how to use it. The plugin parameters and plugin command arguments were set up in a way that should be mostly foolproof, they won't let you enter values that aren't valid.

Plugin Commands / Script Calls

• "Change Dimmed Window Opacity" - lets you set the two opacity values during eventing
• "Reset Dimmed Window Opacity" - lets you reset the two values back to your plugin parameters

Demo
None, see screenshots for how to use the plugin commands in events.
