A window roller shade and dimming pane assembly includes a rigid frame having a first side member on a first side and a second side member on a second side opposite the first side. An outer pane and an inner pane are disposed within the rigid frame with a gap between the outer pane and the inner pane. A roller shade includes a motor for rolling and unrolling the roller shade. A first constant force spring and a second constant force spring are each configured to pull the roller shade downwardly through the gap while the motor is unrolling the roller shade. A dimming film is disposed on the inner pane for dimming light through the inner pane. A window interface is operatively coupled to the inner pane for receiving touch input for controlling the dimming film and the roller shade.
