In Windowblinds configuration screen go to "Settings" and click on "Advanced" and put a check in the box where it says "Make explorer windows 'semi-tranparent'. You also will need to go to an explorer window and and click on Tools/Folder Options in the menu and select "Windows classic folders" for the view settings. The Windowblinds configuration screen will also let you set the explorer text color which will probably be neccessary to be able to read the icon labels.

WindowFX will do that, but only if you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Actually paxx, FX makes the whole thing transparent, buttons too. If you get it as clear as the explorer window in the setigreen screenshot you wouldn't be able to use the skin...
