Description from store
Fokus emphasizes anything you select by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay.
You can try it out here http://lab.hakim.se/fokus/ before installing.
The plugin comes with a few options that can be accessed from Chrome's extension listing page. This allows you to:
- Adjust overlay opacity
- Specify a modifier key shift/ctrl/alt/cmd which must be held down to active the overlay
- Adjust the padding around selection

- Works as expected and is really useful. Just wanted a quick way to switch on and off.

- I can't figure out how it works! It seems like a great extension based on the demo site but in't user intuitive. Could someone help me explain how to use the extension? Thanks1

- Great idea from a hugely talented interactive media developer/designer, however the execution here is not what I was hoping for. If this extension is open source, will see if I can help to address some minor annoyances with it. The main gripe I have is that it cues when I select portions of text within input fields to be edited or copied, and so e.g. this has caused issues with Facebook chat if I want to select all and delete (happens often in cases where the question I am about to ask is answered before I send the question -- great minds think alike). Rating 5/5 because I'm not sure that other people would have this issue and I want to show some support for the developer. Hopefully the annoyances can be worked out! If not, it was free anyway so not really that worried about it.

- Great job and would be perfect if there was an option to set the plugin disabled on some sites.

- But how to change the background color of selected words？ 怎么改变已选文字的背景颜色？

- This tool is awesome! I use it in my classes, to just show what I want of a document. Is it possible to use 100% opacity and, most off all, the possibility of manually defining the space to show? Thank you!

- I've always been in the habit of selecting text as I read it, this extension makes the experience almost perfect. Would be nice if there was an option to add a modifier key that would have to be pressed in combination with the mouse drag/double click to trigger it, as I've come across a few instances where it would be desirable not to have the extension kick in. Update: now has modifier key option, awesome!

- While the principle is great, its getting annoying over time as I simply try to right-click, 'open in new tab' etc.. this triggers a selection and therefore covers the page I wasn't finished scanning for info, links etc. Like the other commenter here, a key command/mouse drag would be more desirable. I'm deactivating for now, but really hope this improvement can be included in a future release.

- I actually found this through the developer's website, I love having this on every website I visit rather than just my own. Works just as it says, in a beautiful and pleasing way.
