Notifications Would you explain the nuance between "That's very nice of you" and "That's very nice for you"?

i think i understand the nuance of preposition "of" and "for".
but sometimes i amnot sure about it when i see the sentenses that "That's very nice of you" and "That's very nice for you".
aren't there both of them the difference of mean? or ...
of course It's too difficult to explain it on Website. If you can do it, i'd really know the difference of the nuance of them. i could understand well if u show me the specific situations.
thanks for reading.
