Comment (by avryl):

 > '''Clorith''': That's going to make some people scream xD

 > '''ericandrewlewis''': If you want opinions: fading the UI felt
 uncomfortable to me, and I don't see a lot of user experience gain from
 it.

 > '''wonderboymusic''': what is the impetus for ditching DFW? I never
 liked the fading

 > '''johnbillion''': I'm not a huge fan of the fading myself, but we
 should certainly revisit it

 > '''folletto''': fading as any animation will actually give MORE
 attention to the context, because will attract attention (animations
 attract user attention)

 > '''Clorith''': I'm thinking that fading UI elments is a bad experience
 for users with reduced sight

 Something else we could do is, instead of initialising DFW when pressing
 the fullscreen button, collapse the menu, switch to two columns, hide the
 kitchen sink, enable editor scrolling and remember the previous states. We
 could do this is in a way that it doesn't affect the user settings. If you
 leave "fullscreen" mode, we just set the original states back. Only when
 in "fullscreen" mode, fade out the admin bar, collapsed menu, meta boxes
 below the editor, title and notices, and fade them back in when they're
 hovered (not necessarily all at once). The admin bar and menu could fade
 in/out together.
