The fogging just obscures information, but replaces it with something that is distracting. You might get an impression of what's there, but it's a tax to comprehend it. OS X (tend to) do this a lot better - if it's not useful, don't make the user squint at it.
Feels like a pure eye-candy effect with no benefit to the user, but I'd be interested in counter arguments/examples.
- nbartlomiej 14y agoI like your point, I agree that you should be careful when using this effect. However, in proper places blur feels very natural; after all, human eye works this way. I think blur has lots of potential. I especially like these use cases: - triggering blur effect after a dialog pops-up - leading the user through a series of mundane forms, displaying the goal in the blurred background I'd be interested to hear other ideas too.
