I don't believe this is a feature of any Stardock app. It's possible your computer came with a control app from the manufacturer. I know HP comes with "Command Center," and ASUS comes with "MYASUS." Check to see if this could be the cause and report back on your findings.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please look at Stardock's WindowFX setting. Under "Inactive Windows". Disable "Make windows under the active window darken..." setting. Refer screenshot below.

Thanks

That’s probably it. I thought you were talking about ObjectDock when you meant Object Desktop. Sorry

Quoting Kenny_901,

It sounds like you may have accidentally activated a feature within Object Dock that dims unused windows in the background.

Which feature is this, please show us, a screenshot showing us might help us.

Thank you,
