iOS7 UI Effects in Photoshop and After Effects With the announcement of iOS7, Apple revealed a completely new UI for their mobile OS. With the super flat design and thin fonts, Apple said that the design would be adaptable to apps by making some of the basic UI elements transparent, therefore, some of the colors of your apps content would bleed through and define how iOS7 basic components would influence the overall appearance. Another important detail of the UI was that with the transparency a blur effect was applied, similar to Windows Vista and their Aero design. So for this tutorial I will show you how to achieve the blur effect of iOS7 using Photoshop and After Effects. Step 1 The first thing I did was to download the iOS7 iPhone PSD from teehanlax ( to use the basic iOS7 UI.

Step 3 If you scroll up you can see that the iOS7 has a bunch of seethrough areas, sort of Windows Vista. Step 4 Step 5
<length> The <length> CSS data type denotes distance measurements. It is a <number> immediately followed by a length unit (px, em, pc, in, mm, …).

You can find articles covering many of the new APIs by looking for Dev.Opera articles marked with the HTML5 tag. This article, on the other hand, focuses on the latter — we will briefly look at how the new semantic elements were chosen, what the main new features are and how they are used, how headings work in HTML5, and browser support for these new elements, including how you can support them in older browsers. The contents are as follows: Introducing HTML5 structural elements HTML4 already has a lot of semantic elements to allow you to clearly define the different features of a web page, like forms, lists, paragraphs, tables, etc. But it could be so much better. <header>: Used to contain the header of a site.
