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

Yes, Windowblinds do..Heres an awesome WB created by Night train that uses tranparency on the start menu https://www.wincustomize.com/Preview.aspx?Source=NightTrain/wb/4892.jpg">Link..there was another that I have..I think it's called Borg..im not on my PC right now so I dont have the authors name..but the skin has the ability to make ALL windows transparent with a simple click of the mouse..

Zero.

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..

Zero.

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

Every time i upload a skin i always run into trouble with my programs list. because i have so many programs it doesnt display the contents of the program files. why is that? say i click on Microsoft Office, which has Microsoft Word and other stuff in it, but when i click on Microsoft Office, the other programs in it don't show up!!!

if u can help id appreciate it.
