Ohh no, never do like that. I hate that. It is not usefull at all, IMHO. I
annoys me on websites with the cookie info box, it annoys me in chrome, it
annoys me in matlab, it annoys me in simulink, it annoys me everywhere. I
rather think, that the user should think; "mmm, I don't like that zoom
method that well, maybe there is an option for it. <and then he should go
check for that>". Popups or curtains is not the solution.
