- twodayslate 16y agoIt looks great. I see more and more UIs using this.
- DougBTX 16y agoIt looks good in Win7 too, I like how the colour of the glow is controlled by the application's icon.
- some1else 16y agoThe idea has been around in game user interfaces for a while. The mouse-trail dhtml animations were a plague, but this pertains to single elements, and may help elevate their importance in the visual hierarchy.
- moe 16y agoThe element highlight has a purpose. It tells the user: You are currently hovering this and your next mouse-click will activate it. How does highlighting only part of the hovered element help to "elevate" anything?
- ugh 16y agoBad enough with Chrome? Did you even notice it before you read the article?
- tommi 16y agoI did.
