Being able to have a transparent background instead of white
Saturday, November 22, 2003 by xkape77 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Maybe a stupid question but here goes....
how can I make the background of something, for example, if i opened up "windows explorer" or "my computer", transparent so instead of a white background, i get my desktop. to see an example look at the SETI green theme for windowblinds.
thanks

WindowsFX cannot do this. It makes the whole thing transparent,including the writing and the menu's, etc.. All I want is the background to go away.
