David,

I have lightened the background, rather than darkened it, which is closer to what you are suggesting. I prefer this to darkening the background because it is a subtler change (if the app has a white background), while still getting the "disabled" point across.

Best,
Jack

that I'm curious if anyone has come across a variant on this with a visual effect that doesn't simply darken the surrounding window, but actually de-saturates the content (including both text and graphics) under it. That would be an even more true 'disabled' cue.
