Partial window transparency possible?
Tuesday, October 10, 2006 by schudini | Discussion: OS Customization
I would like to know if it is possible to make part of a window transparent.
I want the right "pane" of a windows explorer window to be transparent so just the files/folders are there and you can see through the background to the desktop. I want the rest of the window (menu, title bar, left side menu, border, etc.) to remain opaque.
I found lots of tools and settings for making the entire window transparent, but I don't want that.
I also tried customizing the background with a transparent gif, but that just turned it black.
Thanks for all the help/information.
