Make Any Xp Window Transparent And Control The transparency

[indianbaba]

One of the cooler new interface features of XP is the ability to use transparent or semitransparent windows, in which the background can show through the current window.

However, a number of downloadable programs tap into that XP capability and let you make any window transparent. My favorite is Glass2K (http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml), because it's small, it's simple, and above all, it's free. It doesn't muck around with your system by making Registry changes or installing .dlls. It's just run an executable file, and with it you can make any window transparent. When it's running, go to the window you want to make transparent, and press Ctrl-Shift and a number from 0 to 9. 9 makes the window the least transparent, 1 makes it the most transparent, and 0 sets it so that it's solid, with no transparency. You can also right-click on a window, and select the degree of transparency from the program's pop-up menu. The window will keep that degree of transparency as long as you run the program and keep the transparency setting. Figure 2-19 shows the results of making windows transparent with the program.

Trans-XP is another downloadable that lets you make windows transparent. It's shareware, and is free to try, but costs $14.95 if you decide to keep it. It's available from http://www.totalidea.com.

There are a lot of softwares to make windows transparent, but have you guys noticed one thing.
Making a window transparent puts a lot of undesired load on you computer.

Me PC summary is
Intel Pentium 4 (2.8Ghz) Processor
384MB RAM
64MB VGA Card

and still I can feel the load on my sytem when I use transparency in windows.

would it be a good idea to put undesired load on your computer ?
