Dim background

It would be great if a background (master screen) could be dimmed a bit.

This would be useful when a dialog or new window is shown.

I'll see what I can do. My main concern is that master screens can also be used as a replacement for custom widgets. In this case changing the color might not be appropriate.

you could use a default panel to do something like this. Simply add a panel in your master as top element and use black as background. change the alpha value to the lowest. than you will have an effect light the javascript lightbox library does it.

Pepe,

You can obtain the same result in WireframeSketcher. Actually the solution is given in the article. Just use the Panel widget with no border and with a transparency setting (the border property was added in version 1.4.2).

I'd like to hear whether this works for you.

Here's how the same thing looks in WireframeSketcher:

Hi,

yes the proposed solution works fine. Thanks.
