Update
I would like to apologize to the loyal readers of this blog for the lack of updates since last december. Android is a fascinating project which keeps me very busy at work and I would probably need to clone myself a few times to implement all the features I would like to see in it. [...]
Blurred Background for Dialogs (Extreme GUI Makeover 2007)
Shannon, Chris and I showed many cool effects during this year’s Extreme GUI Makeover session, at JavaOne 2007.

Extreme GUI Makeover 2007 Video #1
Download the first video of Extreme GUI Makeover 2007, presented at JavaOne. This video shows what happens when an exception is thrown internally. This effect was inspired by applications that display cryptic error messages meant for programmers only. Because those messages usually expose the internals of the application, we thought it would be a good [...]
