Sunil Patel (ID: 000000bc734ccaaa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2018 Love it! I've been hunting for a long time for something like Ghostzilla from back in the day. And this works! A couple of feature requests: - Boss Key Option for: If the mouse leaves the page, blank the whole page to white or a preset image (so i can put a fake work related page!) - Auto GreyScale Option: If the mouse has not moved in set while (5-10 second)...start dimming quickly until it's white..and mouse movement undims it. Say...your boss stops by to chat..... Makes it harder for people to read it easily if they stop by.
