Title: Translucent Window App
Post by: Francine Eisner on June 28, 2007, 12:00:05 PM

Hi guys,

Can someone here recommend a good Translucent Windows program? I've found several, but would like some good advice. I love my new OS (10.3.9) but I sure do miss the tranlucent window effect I used to see in OS 10.1.5.

Cheers,
Francine

The only one I have had any experience with is WindowShade. It brings back the OS 9 zipping up of the windows as well as some other tricks like minimizing in place and making windows transparent with different key combinations.  

I forget that I have it installed and sometimes accidentally hit the key commands and make a window see-through.

Note that you will have to download an earlier version to use with 10.1 and I really don't know how many features it may have. I have the latest for 10.3.9 and up.

Oh, never mind. I see you upgraded to Panther.
