Periodic Table of NSVisualEffectView
While working on that feedback panel that comes up when resizing a shot, or changing its transparency (see above), I needed an overview of the different appearances an
NSVisualEffectViewcan have.During testing, I discovered that
NSVisualEffectViewaccepts material values from 0-37, of which only a few are documented.With that in mind, this sample app shows 152
NSVisualEffectViews. 76 light, 76 dark, each consisting of 38 vibrant and 38 non-vibrant variants. Some of them look like they produce duplicate results, but all I needed was a brute-force way of showing all variants at once for comparison, so I didn’t bother filtering out anything.You can download the source code here, if you’d like to play around with it yourself.
