Implementing the Mac "Quick Look" type of window

[Andre Garzia]

Richmond,

You can't do that with Rev... In Rev all elements inherit the stacks own
blendlevel :-(

If you are not moving your stack, you can take a screenshot of the screen,
crop it, set it as background of the stack with a clever image with a blend,
then it will look like the effect you're trying to achieve but if the window
moves, the background will not move with it...
