I just found this very nifty tool which allows you to make *every* window transparent (at least if you have Win2k or WinXP) - you can even pick an individual degree of transparency from 10%-90% for every app! :eek:
On top of that, it can make your taskbar transparent as well :D
Here's a screenshot of my desktop proving it:

http://img56.echo.cx/img56/6039/desktoptransparency1up.th.jpg (http://img56.echo.cx/my.php?image=desktoptransparency1up.jpg)

Since it's only a very tiny program (41kb as zip), I'll attach it. All you have to do is to extract it to a safe location (e.g. your "Program files" folder) and then run it. In the settings screen that appears then, check the "Auto-load" and the "Auto-Remember" option (the first two). You can also set the taskbar transparency here, just click on the bar. Then, click on "Save" to close the settings window. Now, whenever you right-click on a window, you'll get a little pop-up where you can set a transparency from 10%-90% or disable it again. (You can also set the pop-up to right-click+shift or something else in the settings dialog.)
That's it already. Now have fun! :D

Looks interesting, I have nvidia drivers and most of them come with a special console to enable transparency and stuff.

Is this particular transparency thing hardware accelerated? I like to keep my CPU usage as low as possible, hehe

I'd like an answer to that as well, since my laptop ain't that great for power.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP support alpha transparency all by themselves. The only thing this tool does is enabling you to set the transparency values for the windows yourself. It doesn't have any noteable Cpu usage.

Windows Magotty Excrements and before don't support alpha transparency, so this tool won't work there.
You could probably program something like that there, but it would probably be quite Cpu-consuming.
