Sadely, it isn’t based on Mootools. If anyone has the same but base on Mootools, I’m really interested.

If you go in a single direction it would provide a motion blur effect. If you were to circle the characters with layers a small gaussian blur would appear. The effects would have to be really subtle, and would be nowhere close to as effective as an actual blur filter.You could also jiggle the background text a little to give an effect that the user cannot focus. This will cause their eyes to blur the text while trying to get it into focus.None of this stuff should really be used anywhere though, unless you are trying to design a "cool" myspace page.

Just reminds me of the <a href="http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/04/make-cool-and-clever-text-effects-with-css-text-shadow/" rel="nofollow">css text-shadow property</a>. I would say you've provided us with a fresh cross-browser compatible solution here. Is there anything like a blur effect (not the event) in mootools to complete this text-shadow simulation?

I could see it working to give a pseudo drop shadow effect. Maybe nicer to have the shadow fade-out or fly off to just draw attention. It does not look good if words don’t wrap the same.
