# Pane dimming & focus

## How to use it

### Inactive pane dimming

The panes that aren't active will be dimmed to better indicate which pane is active. To access it, go to **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Panes**

* Toggle on **Dim inactive panes** to enable the feature.

{% hint style="info" %}
Split panes show a triangle indicator on the top left corner of the active pane.
{% endhint %}

### Mouse focus

The pane with the mouse over it will become active. To access it, go to **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Panes**

* Toggle on **Focus follows mouse** to enable the feature.
