Instead of just popping up a new window, you might want to slowly fade it in. While this looks impressive, there is an equally impressive price to pay in performance speed, and it is difficult to interact meaningfully with windows that are in the process of fading.
For the usability reasons mentioned under Fade-in windows, it is most practical to use a fast fade in speed and (for more eye candy) a slow fade out speed. This will provide you nice effects and a smooth feeling system as well as low latency before information appears.
