Thanks for the feedback all.=20

-We can rework the name to make more sense, perhaps panel preview.

-I like the glass effect too.

-We will investigate this more in terms of being able to select items from =
the preview. For now this is to help with usability in the manner that Jess=
ica mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks You and Best Regards,

Hi Sonny,
I have 3 comments on it.

First, I like the way this lets me drill down without actually clicking. It=
 is easier to quickly browse around the detail panels from one place. Users=
 complain about getting lost in too many levels and having to click too muc=
h, and this combats that.

Second, I'm not sure "history view" describes it. To me, the feature is loo=
king into the future -- what would happen if I clicked this breadcrumb?
-- rather than the past. I'd call it a preview, or "instant details" view, =
or something like that.

Third, I agree with David that seeing the buttons in the popup is confusing=
. Users will expect to be able to click them. Is there a way to erase them =
before display?
