Description:
When a dialog appears and you cannot use the application below, then somehow it has to be shown that on the application cannot be clicked. Remember the logout dialog box, when the display becomes grayscale. This is the same instead of the display, the inaccessible application changes to inform you that you cannot click on it.
My idea is to have different styles for this job (here I will call it dialog fadeout). The styles can be made to be very fast (for older computers) and more complex that need more performance. These styles can be managed from the control center. I have placed one mockup of the control center (made on kde 3.5.2). The idea is to have three types of styles - the fastest is the first (example 3 on screenshot 2). The second is fade to color with transcluency (example 1 on screenshot 2). The thrd type is based on scripts (example 2 and 4 on screenshot 2). For example when the dialog appears, below it the application fills with leaves, or becomes more blurry. The scripts can be installed and uninstalled. This way kde4 will have one new style category (like splash screens, decorations, icon packages) - the dialog fadeout effects. These effects can be used also in the logout screen. It is good if the user can choose different effects for dialog fadeout and logout fadeout sdreens.
If you have any questions and suggestions I would like to answer.
