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.
