I like the idea.

I don't think a window manager can do something within a window.

However you could write a program that displays a darker window
on top of your inactive window. I don't know if you know the program
xmag. It would be the same thing except instead of magnifying you would
shade. Then you'd hack stumpwm to pop the shaded window on your
dis-activated frame.
