CEGUI Glass-like Shader Demo

This video shows something slightly more advanced that will be possible with the 0.7.0 release of CEGUI.

Basically we have a kind of 'glass' like effect that blurs whatever is beneath the semi-transparent window. The demo shows complete window transparency in order that it's easy to see what's going on, though it would be quite possible to only have the title area and borders affected (similar to a certain desktop OS).

This look pretty good. What happen if someone can't run shaders? Is the effect just disabled?

The interface for this is quite 'raw' so it's actually left to the client code to detect and degrade gracefully as needed :)

Trying to achieve this effect. Discussing this on [dot cegui dot org dot uk] ?f=10&t=5576
