must of editted it in a photo editor. It would be cool if that is actually possible.

It is possible with WindowFX.

thanks, but I can't seem to figure out how to, I've been playing with it for about 10 minutes and am confused

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.

Where in the world is DavidK anyways? I haven't seen him in forever


xkape77, which version of WinFX are you using?

Reply #9 November 22, 2003 10:43 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I haven't seen David in ages....maybe he found a real job . FX won't do what he wants to do in that he wants the whole background transparent.

....now pass the tea, please

Reply #18 November 23, 2003 1:50 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

nah, he didn't fake it, just that when XP came out it took away the ability. or something to that effect

- there are somethings Linux can do that windows can't.

Reply #20 November 23, 2003 10:43 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Like never crash.

Reply #21 November 23, 2003 11:02 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

personally i hate linux....
but Lindows is OK...

Reply #22 November 23, 2003 11:51 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

If you look at the screenshot and read what it says, it clearly says:
For explorer window transparency, download "TransTool" from http://go.to/WBStuff

I guess this should answer your question.

Forget that, it's not working. Maybe TransTools doesn't work with the latest WB...

What can Linux do that windows can't? I've used and programmed for both for years and have never found anything one can do that the other can't.

Peff - linux is more stable. it never crashes. unix based. windows crashes all the time.
