How to make transparent title bars

Yeah, okay, i know there must be a way to do it, but i can't figure out how to make the title bar transparent when it isn't the main window. Don't get mad if i could have found it with search, because i'm totally retarded when it comes to that thing. :o

I'm pretty sure you can't. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed a few times too.

Imho afaik, this can't be done with the existing version of Win XP; it is only possible with Longhorn.

What you can do is add a transparent window border with Window FX, which is the next best thing I can offer you :D

Yeah cause we all have used longhorn to know that it does work...

Anyhow this should be comming up in some release some time of window blinds. The alphablending of the start menu was the first step towards this imho.

I believe he is asking about window titlebars, not the taskbar. Though that is a great trick with the taskbar. :)
