The text introduces new design patterns for highlighting elements in apps, aiming to enhance user experience by drawing attention to key features. These patterns include pointer arrows, blurred backgrounds, and outlined lightboxes. Pointer arrows are useful for directing users to specific elements on a page, while blurred backgrounds help focus on important elements and prompt users to take action. Outlined lightboxes provide clear visual cues about the highlighted element. The text also provides instructions on how to implement these patterns in Chameleon, an app-building platform.
