This should be "baked in" to stumpwm.  It shouldn't be as awkward as the python
script.  I use two monitors, and I've never been annoyed enough by not knowing
which has focus to need to dim one.  You could also change the window border
width and color to be something more bright.  It defaults to white.  This might
help make things more visible.
