A new app called Pixelmator has gone into private beta according to TUAW and while it looks like it could be a replacement for Photoshop Elements, the screenshots in their gallery make it look like the developers went overboard with the semi transparent look. I have no idea how the app will actually work, but when everything is semi transparent, it looks like it could be a mess. In this screenshot, this is a sheet upon on a window. It’s a bit difficult to see where the sheet ends and the window begins. I’ve seen this trend in other apps such as Disco and just don’t understand. While I’m not an old geezer, I can’t imagine how people who are my father’s age can use this as some people already have problems seeing the display.
Please developers, if you want to have this look, make it an option to turn it off.
