A: How to create a non-destructive and reusable blurred/frosted glass effect?

Make a 50% grey layer over the layer you want to create the blurry and frosted layer. Fill it with noise, amount of which depends on your need Blur it with Gaussian blur as you need. Above this layer you can add a curves layer and adjust the white and black values by pulling down the white end o...

not sure if that would work

let's find out!

Matt_2.0

how was the convention?

JohnB

it was alright

some of it interesting some of it boring

Joonas

Guess who got nothing done today? :)

JohnB

Joonas

Took a way too long nap...

Matt_2.0

8:06 PM

Joonas

Nope. Just woke up like ten minutes a go.

Matt_2.0

Joonas

Matt_2.0

8:10 PM

<!--[if IE]>

Joonas

How about that google .......frame? I don't know what it's called. I've never felt a need to useit.

JohnB

chrome uh

something

Joonas

Google chrome frame

JohnB

Google Chrome Frame

Google Chrome Frame is a plug-in designed for Internet Explorer based on the open-source Chromium project. It went stable in September 2010, on the first birthday of the project. In June 2013 Google announced they would retire Chrome Frame, and will cease support and updates for the product in January 2014. The plug-in works with Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and 9. It allows suitably coded web pages to be displayed in Internet Explorer by Google Chrome’s versions of the WebKit layout engine and V8 JavaScript engine. In a test by ComputerWorld, JavaScript code ran 10 times faster with the p...

team work

Joonas

It's that old. Wow..

Now I kinda feel bad that I never used it..

It's 23:14 and I haven't eaten anything today... Don't really feel like cooking

Matt_2.0

8:15 PM

I hate debugging

JohnB

@Joonas you're thin enough already you'll disappear if you don't eat!

Joonas

I hate the air I breath, but my protests never last very long..

What? Did I look sickly thin on webcam or something?

xD

JohnB

not sickly thin but that's probably what your mother would say

Matt_2.0

wait you two are webcammin... O_o

JohnB

we were hanging out yesterday!

Matt_2.0

8:18 PM

best tequila... hands down

JohnB

with someone named Amer too

Joonas

Matt, Hot and steamy action in hangouts....

JohnB

*by Finnish standards

Matt is from much further south than be, he'd be wearing winter clothes at what you consider hot!

Joonas

It's 11celcius atm... I feel much better..

Matt_2.0

you sure?

Joonas

8:22 PM

Yup

Matt_2.0

we get 110 high here and single digits in the winter.. not to mention.. humidity

Joonas

I do still have a window open and a fan running.

It's almost like a sauna in there....

JohnB

11 celcius is not a sauna!

Joonas

Now I'm just imagining a fan ( a person ) running in circles in my apartment..

No, I meant Matts 110 degrees in winter

JohnB

ohh

yeah that's pretty bad

Joonas

8:34 PM

I sometimes get distracted by shiny things....

Today after work I kinda bought new wireless headset

I never learn. Every time I go to an electronics store, I have to buy something

Yisela

aloha!

Matt_2.0

kinda bought?

@Yisela hi!

Joonas

Matt,:D I guess I don't want to admit that I did..

Matt_2.0

well the gang is all here... now for... @Joonas... your electronic intervention

Joonas

!?!?!??!?!?!

Matt_2.0

8:41 PM

wow so many domains.. how will I ever finish them..

Yisela

confused

I leave for two days and chaos

Matt_2.0

yes

Yisela

Matt_2.0

Joonas

Are you guys sure the intervention was for me?

Matt_2.0

8:52 PM

JohnB

A: How to create a non-destructive and reusable blurred/frosted glass effect?

This is really going outside of your requirements, but does this have to be done with an overlay? I am not sure you'll get the effect you're hoping to achieve using that sort of method. If you have the capability, I would do this programmatically instead. I have no insight into how your applica...

is that possible?

no idea how apps are written and whether or not you can use CSS within them

Yisela

you can if it's a web app, which is basically a website embed in an app

JohnB

8:55 PM

that was my assumption

can someone with more insight into iOS programming edit that information in? :)

Yisela

I would maybe add some of the css in the answer as well

JohnB

I don't like to talk on things that I don't know what I'm talking about :P

Yisela

ahh it's a fiddle

well at least this part:

.blurred {
-webkit-filter: blur(2px);
-moz-filter: blur(2px);
-o-filter: blur(2px);
-ms-filter: blur(2px);
}

JohnB

yeah, wouldn't be a bad idea to include that

Yisela

also, the fiddle images are not working here

no idea why

JohnB

8:57 PM

whaaaaat

Yisela

403 - Forbidden

JohnB

they are hosted on stack.imgur :S

Yisela

(when you open in new tab from fiddle)

maybe imgur has something against jsfiddle

or maybe it's just me

Joonas

I know reading is not my thing, but I just thought that the question was about photoshopping a blurred image?

Yisela

he talks about iOS below the images

JohnB

8:58 PM

@Joonas they are looking for a non-destructive method

they'll have a collection of non-blurred images, they want a way to apply a blur

without...blurring

Joonas

Odd question to be asing here... Or at all

Asking*

JohnB

Well, they'd like to just have a transparent PNG that can be placed over top of the image

which I don't think is possible to achieve a nice blurred effect

Yisela

does this work?

Matt_2.0

wow I come back.. and I miss the party

JohnB

@Yisela I tried it, but I couldn't get good results

Yisela

9:00 PM

I thought so

JohnB

it just made the image look darkened

Matt_2.0

bad question to me

is it not like the question I posted?

JohnB

no, read what I just told Joonas

they want to blur the image without blurring the image

Matt_2.0

you can do it with code..

JohnB

that's my suggestion!

you really are late to the party

Matt_2.0

9:02 PM

well.. great minds... dominate man kind

Yisela

do you know how to do it in java or similar, Matt?

yes..

I'm a womankind

you can script it

womyn*

9:04 PM

is that a joke that my limited knowledge of english can't get?

JohnB

could be

Yisela

damn

JohnB

there are extreme feminists that prefer "womyn" over "women" because they don't want it to contain "men"

Yisela

those are not feminists

JohnB

WELL I don't know what to call them

Yisela

9:05 PM

just extremists

JohnB

Womyn

"Womyn" is one of several alternative spellings of the word "women" used by some feminists. There are many alternative spellings, including "womban" and "womon" (singular), and "wimmin" (plural). Writers who use alternative spellings see them as an expression of female independence and a repudiation of traditions that define females by reference to a male norm. Background In Old English sources, the word "man" was gender-neutral, with a meaning similar to the modern English usage of "one" as an indefinite pronoun. The words wer and wyf were used to specify a man or woman where necessar...

"womban" :S

Yisela

haha

Joonas

I was ust reading that part.... Sounds like smething from a scifi movie

Yisela

totally

JohnB

I'm just going to start replacing "men" with "myn". THEN THEY WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

I've never actually seen someone seriously use the term, only sarcastically

Yisela

9:07 PM

hahaha

Joonas

So Matt, can you post the hangouts link?

Yisela

can anyone else see John's fiddle images?

JohnB

@Joonas try this plus.google.com/hangouts/_/…

Yisela

please*

JohnB

Joonas

9:11 PM

Can't see the images

JohnB

HRMPH

Yisela

we should add that to the chat rules: "We use retroactive manners"

JohnB

why does it work for me! what a bunch of baloney

Joonas

Cause it's cached, most likely..

JohnB

ah hey you're right

Yisela

Yisela

we use Agile / Scrum and have units of work with certain times

JohnB

@Matt_2.0 weren't you asking if you could upload images directly from chat?

someone was asking!

Yisela

I think I did, maybe

if you could just paste images or something

did you find a way?

JohnB

well, there is a big "upload..." button that I have apparently ignored all this time

Matt_2.0

Yisela

Yisela

html question

JohnB

OFF TOPIC

;D jk jk tell usss

Yisela

haha

I have a div with two tables inside (yeah, tables), and I want to add a pading to the first one

can I use table:first-child?

Matt_2.0

yes

Yisela

10:05 PM

it doesn't seem to work but I'm not sure if it's because it doesn't exist or something else

Joonas

put a chair in there

Yisela

do you know the browser compatibility Matt?

Matt_2.0

for IE?
which version because it wont work before 8

Joonas

ie7+

JohnB

@Yisela caniuse.com/#feat=css-sel2

Joonas

10:06 PM

If you are worried about ie, this is a helpful site: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh781508%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Yisela

noooooo

no ie7

Joonas

well it still does work in ie7

Matt_2.0

I dont believe child will work in 7

JohnB

jsfiddle.net/8CcAf

Yisela

.jobDictated table:first-child doesn't work

aaah I'm using it wriong

wrong

I think...

I want the first table of the div .jobDictated

JohnB

10:09 PM

jsfiddle.net/8CcAf/1

Matt_2.0

if you need the child to work why not force it with jQuery?

Yisela

hmm..

no, this is the lamest most idiotic site you can imagine

I can only use css (not even html)

Matt_2.0

what?

um why the limitation?

Joonas

sounds like some ecommerce service...

or really closed cms

JohnB

are you sure you want first-child?

if there is something before the table, it won't work

Yisela

10:11 PM

I will use the crazy named div ID instead

Joonas

nobody ever wants the middle-child...

Yisela

I'm a middle child :0

JohnB

maybe you want :first-of-type

Joonas

so am I

Yisela

the site has 15 years and is connected to a bunch of other sites, it's all generated dynamically and I was forbidden to touch the html, JS or asp

Matt_2.0

10:12 PM

@Joonas how good is your eCommerce?

Yisela

cause that's how they roll here

Matt_2.0

F that

JohnB

actually that's a CSS3 selector so support for that is even worse caniuse.com/#feat=css-sel3

Yisela

wow, I outdumbed myself

2

it wasn't working because you can't add padding to a table :D :D

Matt_2.0

ya

is it bad to offer designers commission?

Yisela

10:17 PM

how?

Matt_2.0

Ill email you bought it later

Yisela

I don't understand

JohnB

gotta go!

Yisela

10:35 PM

this is art:

.sitePatient table tr:first-child + tr td.ElementTitle:first-child + td + td

JohnB

10:52 PM

@Yisela wat is dat

Yisela

the third td in the second tr of a table

JohnB

good grief

Yisela

the hackiest dirtiest trick

JohnB

Yisela

I live a sad life
