Glass 2.0 effect

[ash_scotland88]

well dont actually know if its 2.0 but.....

you know on some websites if you click an image it sort of brings up a glass effect thats transparent.
any idea whats that called?

i know it doesnt help, but looking for examples of it.

or even just like glass overlay used i websites.

doesnt even need to be good examples.


hope that makes some sort of sense.

*goes off to try and fine own examples*

the lightbox one, the way the images open up.
what iam trying to do is create a a smashed glass effect that i can then use to put text onto and overlay onto a texture heavy background.

its just one idea at the moment and what ive done so far as test peices, eg using what i know to create a glass look isnt realy working, all in all web 2.0 look is took clean but was hoping i would have learnt something from it....ah well.
