It seems that Apple has filed for a patent, for a pretty interesting feature, possibly for “Tiger”. The way I understand it is that, you have a window. That window goes unchanged for a certain amount of time and it becomes semi-transparent. If you leave it that way for even longer, it becomes more translucent. Once it gets to a certain point, a click on that area of the screen is considered an action on the windows underlying the translucent one. Pretty cool, but I can’t seem to find a practical use for it. Maybe somebody could help me?

Update: Sorry about the link, I have no idea how that got in there, thanks ecto ;-).
