I'm working on creating a unique visual effect that simulates a "window" where the div placed above all other elements acts like a window, allowing the background color to show through. Take a look at this example for reference.
My goal is to make the text appear as if it's seen through a window. How can this be achieved without relying on images?
Solution:
One possible solution involves using a wide semi-transparent border, but this method might impact the overall dimensions of the design. An alternative approach (the one I prefer) is to utilize a semi-transparent box-shadow with an extensive spread value, eliminating the need for a separate overlay div.
#cutout {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 5000px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 5000px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 5000px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
}
