Making windows transparent

Instead of having right click make the window roll up, make the right click make the window transparent

Is there a way to change the right click action on the top bar of a window from roll up to transparent. I see that in lots of theme there are buttons on the bar that make the window transparent but i dont like those themes. can i make the right click action on the menu bar make the window that i click on transparent?

This is something you have to do by editing the skin through Skinstudio. There is no configuration item which can do this.

After you open the skin in SKS your presented with three columns. In the left column select Window Borders to show the available attributes for windowborders in the right column. Looking at the attributes in the right column, expand the Misc. Options section and you'll see an attribute for Mouse Action - Right click. Click on it to bring up where you can change its value in the combo box. Pick Make window transparent (Windows 2000 only - Unsupported Experimental Code). Save the skin, re-apply it and you should be all set. The transparency may not work on your system with a particular skin. I'm using XP Home and I tested this on Carbonix by Pixtudio, since it has a roll-up button and the transparency worked fine. Good Luck
