Menubar icon doesn't grey/dim on inactive display in multi-monitor setup

[rahim]

A picture describes this better than words

In multi-monitor setups MacOS dims the contents of the menubar on the inactive display, but trailer doesn't seem to respect this.

Yikes, I don't know why I hadn't noticed that (I use a multi-monitor setup too :D) - goes to show, the developer is the last person to rely on for QA :D Thanks for reporting this, I'll be sure to get this fixed.

Hi @rahim and sorry for the very late update. This build should correct this issue - can you give it a try and see if it works for you?

Thank you! - I don’t have access to my multi monitor setup this week, but I’ll report back as soon as I do.

I just tried the test build - this addresses half the problem, in that now the count is dimmed on the second display, but the trailer icon is not.

Hi @rahim - this build should be saner now. If you get a chance to try it out let me know how it goes.
