Fadeout is a simple plugin to make you website fade to black or white. There are several features such as the ability to exclude the fade from the homepage and/or exclude by menu ID. There is also 2 sizes, small & large, & 2 colors, black & white.

Fadeout uses a little jQuery to remove the fade when you get to the bottom of the page. This way, no footer links are ever covered up. You can see fadeout in action at the bottom.
