Unicode in Answer Dialog on iOS

[Monte Goulding]

I use a similar technique for modal dialogs but I use black graphic with blendlevel about 80% to dim everything.  The main annoyance is that you need to remember to keep the dimming layer and the the dialog groups above everything else in the ui. It would certainly be nice to have a multi-stack UI.

Cheers

Until they deal with the fake dialog, the transparent button prevents them from interacting with anything else on the screen. It's a hack but it works.
