What can I do to have transparent window backgrounds and borders?

Tuesday, August 24, 2004 by xkoden | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I've looked through themes for windowblinds and desktop x configurations but I can't figure out how to get my windows' backgrounds to be transparent. I basically want something that will have opaque text but completely clear everything else, with a border that can be set to transparent or slightly transparent. Any ideas what I need? I have window blinds, perhaps I have to get a certain skin? If so can anybody suggest one? Thanks!!

Window FX is the program you need to alter the transparency and some other cool stuff. Some windowblinds have a transparency switch built into them. Only a few though.
