Does Windowblinds support window transparency, similar to the start menu?

I was just wondering if Windowblinds supported window transparency. I really like the aero glass theme for longhorn. You can find it at Link

Thanks but I already know that startmenu transparency is supported. What I want to know is... is transparency supported in the actual images of the skin, such as borders, headers, etc?

Not currently, and it remains to be seen if it will. Start Menus dont move much and change size, so transparency doesn't put much of a strain on the system. Throw it on the edges of a window and start resizing, dragging etc. and it could potentially adversely affect system performance.

Will it happen? I think so. The question is when.

Now, why the taskbar can't be transparent. . .

Heres a WB that supports transparency of pretty much all your windows.. I thought it was the Borg skin but I was wrong.. This is an awesome Skin and packed FULL of features..I think you will enjoy it. Link

I dont think there is support to make only certain elements of a window transparent, but the making the windows transparent themselves is possible as demonstrated in the skin I have linked to..

I've seen skins with a sort off semi transparency... But I don't think I have ever seen any that go quite as clear as the start menu tho. Maybe this is something that can come out with Longhorn? Hopefully, cause it helps hide what your typing from nosy eyes! lol
