You can use .TGA graphic files. Some elements, like taskbar bg, scrollbar bg, titlebar buttons and window borders don't support, but just about every other bit does. It'll allow you to acheive the effect you're after.

"WHEN I SENDED TREETOG ANOTHER EMAIL ABOUT THE SUBJECT HE DIDN'T FIND IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ANSWER IT In that case, I will just decide on my own. " That shows a lack of judgment and some disrespect.

It's being debated by Stardock as to wether or not it should be added, as there may be issues with perfomance. There has been experimental builds using it, that are unreleased though.
