Yes, that's a problem. Next time we do an overlay I'll have to do more research and find one that fits more flexibly.

If we can move the overlay over the admin bar then great. If not then we can also add a "close window" link at the bottom of the overlay that would be a second way to close it out. It could even be placed just beneath the other text so it was more certain to be visible.

Boone, please let us know your thoughts when you have a chance. With this overlay active, I think we should address this sooner rather than later if possible.

In https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/5ed6a1cf10f703b7ae16b406d5c8bf8cc4333523, I change the way the modal is initialized so that it appears over the top of the admin bar, along with a couple other items that make it work better on narrow screens. It's ready to test on cdev, where I've also put a temp fix in to allow you to see the modal at anytime: append the show_overlay=1 param to any cdev URL (while logged in).

Much better, Boone -- thank you. The window now definitely appears over the admin bar, which is great. For me, when I resized my browser window in Mac OS/Chrome, the alert window was not responsive, which meant that it was partly viewable, partly not on a narrow window. As a quick way of getting around this, I suggest we follow Chris's advice above and add a "Close Window" link at the bottom of the message itself.

It's not intended to resize dynamically. Try resizing then refreshing.

Aha -- beautiful. Nice work!! I suppose that I'd consider adding a "close window" link at the bottom just to be safe, but let me know what you think.

Looks good to me. Thanks.
