here's to crossing our fingers!

I'm using this with Windowblinds. When I set transparency to all, it works seamlessly. However, I don't want transparency to all (it's annoying in a lot of apps, like photoshop, firefox, anything with large amounts of textual data), but I do want it in Windows explorer. However, if I set EXPLORER.EXE to transparency and turn off transparency for everything, the desktop wallpaper becomes transparent, some windows become transparent, but a lot of them become invisible, and trying to fix this often causes explorer to crash.

U need to set the transparency of what u want acc to window class. Explorer.exe is basically everything that u see on ur dsktop . Do this : set "CabinetWClass" to transparency u want. That will have ur explorer windows transparent . Hope his helps

Thanks. What's the class for control panel windows, popup/context menus etc?

It would be nice if there was documentation covering the classes of various aspects of the Windows GUI and how to apply them.

U can manage to find the classes of virtuallly any thing using a tool called "Au3_Spy" by Land vermesser of our forums .

hey my friend, great job on this app! Listen, I have one question. I am on Vista Business SP1, usual specs for 2 yr old box.....I really like the way the app works but one thing. Somehow it is diverting focus? Like I'll be browsing a thread (like this) and click+hold scroll bar on the right to scroll down, blend steals focus for some reason, now I have to click again.

Another example is I have rotating time (in Windows) screensaver I use. It never comes on while blend is running. I disable blend and ss comes back. I'm thinking the focus stealing is interpreted as activity so ss doesn't get to set properly.

The only window I have set for blend to use is Explorer. Have you noticed this? It really is a great program.

Gave it a try, Great Work!
Even my remote desktop becomes transparent, Amazing！

One more feature request, sometime I want active windows not to be transparent, but when they lost focus they become transparent again.

well this app makes the whole window transparent
and since I am still relatively new to window programming
maybe i dont know how to make the "titlebar only" transparent
( i am taking for granted that you have already used "True transparency"
or "Windowblinds" ) thanks anyway i will try

I want to thank you very much for that great software.You are an artist and a programmer at the same time.I am using vista ultimate and it is working just fine.

Best regards,

Hey, I'm loving the program. Not sure if you still have anything to do with it this far down the track but there's one thing I've noticed with it. If I set a video as my windows background using VLC media player the programs cease to be transparent and are instead just darker, much like if you turned the contrast down on the screen. I just did a quick check and it also isn't transparent if its just a video playing in VLC, though windows media player has no problems. I'm running on Vista basic.
