i´d like to share this very simple script:
Spot_On_Mouse creates a spotlight-like effect around the mouse-cursor.
"CTRL + ALT + S" toggles the spotlight-mode on/off
"+" and "-" resize the spot
"CTRL + ALT + M" starts the "find-the-mouse-cursor" aid-tool
Code:

another (more useful) use for this method might be Single-Window found below.

thanks.
the same method targeted at the active window results to this:
Single Window , blacks-up everything but the active window.
"CTRL + ALT + S" toggles the "Single Window"-mode on/off

Can you make that AltTab window will be always visible, it gets hidden sometimes for me (possible because i am using 2 Monitors)?

No, unfortunately not. Half of screen is black and on second monitor as well but a part of the black screen is also visible.

Looks like it got a problem when active window is on the second screen as this one is not set black.

I think you would need to address both screens separately (for each its own black window).

how about that?
Code:
spotstate := 1
Gui -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +LastFound +ToolWindow
Gui, Color, 0x000000, 0x000000
WinGet, IDvar , ID
SysGet, V_ScreenX, 76
SysGet, V_ScreenY, 77
SysGet, V_ScreenWidth, 78
SysGet, V_ScreenHeight, 79
PolygonP1 := V_ScreenX . "-" . V_ScreenY . " "
gosub, MakePolygonP2
PolygonP3 := V_ScreenX . "-" . V_ScreenY . " " . V_ScreenX . "-" . V_ScreenHeight . " " . V_ScreenWidth . "-" . V_ScreenHeight . " " . V_ScreenWidth . "-" . V_ScreenY . " " . V_ScreenX . "-" . V_ScreenY
MakeSingle:
activestart := WinActive("A")
Gui, Show, x%V_ScreenY% y%V_ScreenY% h%V_ScreenHeight% w%V_ScreenWidth%
WinActivate, ahk_id %activestart%
loop
{
   gosub, MakePolygonP2
   Polygon := PolygonP1 . PolygonP2 . PolygonP3
   WinSet, Region, %Polygon%, ahk_id %IDvar%
   IfWinNotExist ahk_class #32771
      Gui +AlwaysOnTop
   sleep, 10
   if (spotstate != 1)
      break
}
return


~^!s::
spotstate := !spotstate
if (spotstate = 0)
   Gui, Hide
else
   SetTimer, MakeSingle, -1    
return

Esc::ExitApp

MakePolygonP2:
WinGetActiveStats, Title, Width, Height, X, Y
PolygonP2 := X . "-" . Y . " " . X . "-" . Y + Height . " " . X + Width . "-" . Y + Height . " " . X + Width . "-" . Y . " " . X . "-" . Y . " "
