Turn Off the Lights is a browser extension developed by Stefan Van Damme that lets users dim everything on their screen except the video they are watching. A gray lamp icon is displayed in the browser menu bar when a video is detected; users click on the icon to make the screen surrounding the video fade. Clicking outside the video restores the rest of the screen. Users can adjust the opacity of the screen blocking and select a color other than black if desired. The extension can also be set to dim the screen automatically, and there are a variety of YouTube-specific features as well to bring an object to the front. A keyboard shortcut gives users quick access to the program's services.
How does it work?
With a single click on the mountain icon on the toolbar, it will create an online photo gallery of all the images on that web page. Then it will dim the current web page and show you the photo gallery with a glow effect that matches the content of that image. Try it yourself on the example on the left-hand side.

Show a Photo Gallery
You see now in the center of the current web page the photo with an atmospheric lighting effect. And if you want to remove this photo gallery, click again on the mountain icon or on the black layer.
