Window Transparency

Windows Transparency

Ok, so I just got the Black Glass 2, WB and yes it does it for me. Here is my question. How do you get windows to be transparent, and I don't mean it's not working because my WB is. If you look at the desktop screenshot you can see what I'm talking about.

That's the page, if that doesn't work it's Black Glass 2, by butch123. Any help here would be great.
It's the window with "My Computer" is shown.

Are you talking about explorer backgrounds? In wb config,go to explorer backgrounds,and adjust opacity.I think that's with the paid version only,though.That should do it.

I think that's with the paid version only,though

If he's talking about the window frames to be transparent, then they might not be showing transparency because of two reasons:
1. You didn't configure it to be transparent [If so, go to Transparency and blur and adjust the opacity]
2. It doesn't work with the free version

Are you talking about explorer backgrounds?

If it's the backgrounds, not the frames...see Wizard's post. If that doesn't work, maybe the skin won't work like that. In any case, I'll try and download the skin to see if it works on my machine.

Actually both posts helped me out a lot, thank you both. Paid version. I can change the transparency on all facets save one. I was indeed referring to windows explorer, in my eagerness, I forgot how to phrase it. Once again thanks guys.

note , in the transparency page of config, the little words "vista-ize me". That will set it to work like vista if you have xp. the look is very close. I've had tech support people thinking I had vista on this computer because of the way I set it to look.
Windowblinds is very versatile.
