    WindowFx has a feature similar to what PowerDimmer does, however, WindowFx is paid software and does more than just window dimming.

    It is comparable to HazeOver on macOS, but is not an alternative to HazeOver as HazeOver isn't available on Windows.

    CinemaDrape helps you focus on your current task on the screen (such as a video in a web page, a photo or a document editor area) by instantly blanking or dimming the other less important areas in a web page or in the background windows.

    LeDimmer is a small Windows application (<200KB) that sits in the system tray and simply dims the screen around the foreground window.
