In an E-Commerce project, we would find it visually pleasing to keep parts of the previously visited page visible, when customers access account-pages or check out. The background page was heavily blurred so that it doesn’t distract, but still would provide some context. Also, these boring admin pages would look updated each time (as bg-images weren’t the same).

If there was still a full-blown product page below the form-page, this would slow down the loading process considerably (→ first load product-page, then the overlaid page). Of course, we want to avoid that.One could cheat, obviously – as we only needed a low-resolution and heavily blurred partial snapshot of the previously visited pages to achieve the desired effect.Have any of you ever solved a similar problem – and with reasonable effort? Thanks for all input!
