Hi to all, I'd like to add some effects like in this: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun/archive/2008/07/jxlayer_30_lock.html and maybe also this: http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=88
Is it possible with Pivot or something has to be developed (and maybe here some concepts are different from GlassPane or the more interesting JXLayer, both for Swing...) ? In the first sample (the LockableDemo), other things could be done in a similar approach (i think), like attach it over any Pivot Visual Component or Container. And if possible, reuse Pivot Effects and Filters (partial/full transparency, blur, hilite/darken, etc) and if possible animated. Then for example with it i could filter mouse events (and/or) keystrokes to the components, etc ... and maybe this could also be useful to implement a read-only effect on any component, without changing it and keeping the component live (GUI updates, etc). And maybe this could also be useful to do a no-live effect to components, if I'd like to disable and blocking any updates (visual) on some of them ... If i remember well also Flex has a feature like this (the LockableDemo), but only for Modal Dialog Boxes ... but the visual effect is like what i described. And i don't know in this case if it's customizable as effect. What do you think ? Thanks, Sandro
