This is a great example of why you <i>should</i> use platform UI, and <i>shouldn't</i> try to re-invent them:<p>1. Click the mouse and hold. The button doesn't depress (huh?)<p>2. Release the mouse button. Now it depresses (wtf). And actives.<p>3. Hover the mouse over it, it doesn't highlight.<p>4. Click the mouse and hold, then drag the mouse outside the button area. Release the mouse button. It depresses (ugh) and actives.<p>5. Click the disabled button while the progress dialog box is on screen. The progress box vanishes and the button actives<p>6. Attempt to active the button using the keyboard.<p>7. Attempt to make the button the focus for keyboard action by right-clicking or middle-clicking it (or click and drag out of it, but we already know that doesn't work). [This is a GTK feature]<p></rant>
The button and blur effect are both very beautiful, so at first I was excited to see how they were done in code. But it turned out to be just plain images, no fancy CSS. In fact the entire popup dialog is an image, complete with the close button. Ah well...
Ha! This is a flashier and more philosophical cousin of ...<p><i>The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything</i><p><a href="http://www.pixelscapes.com/spatulacity/button.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.pixelscapes.com/spatulacity/button.htm</a>
Nice, simple, beautiful and funny. It might be cool if they tied the donate button into a charity or NPO and play off the fact that clicking it would actually help make things okay for someone.
hmmm - "try checking your settings of perception of objective reality." - a bit geeky and out of touch I think ...<p>I would have said: "remember, you're alive, now take a deep breath, count your blessings, and make the best out of today and every day"<p>but everything's ok :)
Is it just me, or is it broken in Google Chrome?
In Firefox it works fine for me, but in Chrome, I initially see the "Everything is OK now" sign and can't click on anything...
