Transparency in W2k

[Quaggoth]

How do I make the windows in W2k transparent?? (The window background anyway)

It's not just a setting or something you can turn on. There are some 3rd party programs that enable some of this, but for the most part, the application itself has to be written/programmed to do this.

I thought tat it was a registry setting. It was in 98.

What was the setting in 98?

I can't remember. The first time I saw it, it was using the afterstep or enlightenment progeam for win98. After that, I found that it was a registry key you had to add and then modify the value to change the color of the transparency. 7 was the number I used I think (Blue). There was also red, yellow, green, clear, dark and light versions of each. It was REALY cool, but I had to rebuild my 98box after a while and it had lost it's novelty and I forgot how to do it. I had a program about two weeks ago that would do it, but at the time I was running NT4 and didn't need it ) Now I do.... go figure.

If you can find the way to do it, it is pretty cool.

You can make windows, programs and the start menu transparent in Win2K using a program called Transperizer. Do a search for it on Betanews.

It's a real resource hog though....

If you can't find it, give me a PM....I'll send it to you.
