    jeeze, I don't even know how to describe this effect. If any of you have YPN you may have noticed that when you click on a note the entire background becomes grayed out, but the note is still visible. The background stays blacked out until you close the note.

    I've been trying to figure out how to do that, but I don't even know what that effect is called.

    If anyone knows what that effect is called (so I can search for a tutorial or a step by step example) I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

    Any hints on how to implement it would be appreciated too :)

    Thanks,

    Marty

    It's probably done with some javascript. I don't have YPN, but if you want to test it use a browser (like Firefox) and turn off javascripting. If it doesn't work anymore then start looking for tutorials on javascript.

    Without an actual example to look at I'm not 100% sure what effect YPN is making, but here is a background changer script onclick...
