If you want usability, use opaque backgrounds, no offence. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 3:00 PM, Dennis Amrouche <<a href="mailto:dennis@screenlabor.de">dennis@screenlabor.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Hello Allan, I found this on the net today: <a href="http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/24/how-to-blurminal-your-os-x-terminal/" target="_blank">http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/24/how-to-blurminal-your-os-x-terminal/</a> Its a hack of the terminal via SIMBL giving transparent backgrounds of Terminal a 'blur effect'. For a certain degree 'blurring backgrounds' improve usability, instead of being GUI-toy only. Also, it would integrate well into GUI changes of OSX that came with Leopard. Could something similar be on the roadmap? BTW: This 'blurring' effect could be accompanied (fo' tha freakanoidz) by effects like 'invertation of the background', making it B/W or applying textures to it. And Im thinking these kinds of effects will be supported by Core technology, having in mind that you stated TM2.0 will be absolutly build on core libraries of OSX 10.5 Leopard :0) Thanks in advance! Dennis ps: But I also have in mind that you dont think TM will have its own background-images, so I consider that you dont put any priority on these GUI things :0( ______________________________________________________________________ For new threads USE THIS: <a href="mailto:textmate@lists.macromates.com" target="_blank">textmate@lists.macromates.com</a> (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) <a href="http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate" target="_blank">http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate</a> </blockquote></div> -- Cristi <a href="http://www.ralcr.com">www.ralcr.com</a>
