Am I the only one who can't stand transparent windows of any sort? It really distracts me from the contents of the window, and the blur makes my eyes try to focus it, and then my brain tries to process the image.
I'm still waiting for my dream UI: no transparency, but everything other than the current window is slightly out of focus (even the dock or windows bar). When you move the mouse to a new window, it comes into focus. You could even do several levels of focus (if not in a full-screen app): less for visible windows more for background such as dock/windows bar and desktop. I haven't tested this in real life (mockup), so maybe it's been tried and rejected already.
- wlesieutre 12y agoIt's really annoying when you're trying to take screenshots too. That's one of the big reason I like Win8's theme over Aero. Thankfully OS X's "press space to capture a window" has done a good job at just putting things on a white background. I'm hoping that the translucency in 10.10 works the same way, but if anybody's got the beta I'd love a confirmation!
