TranspApps

TranspApps is a very easy to use application that can add transparency to any active window.

The idea this program is based on is actually as simple as it could be: transparency is one of the visual effects everybody likes these days, so why not bringing it in any active window on the screen?

It's not just the titlebar or scrollbar, it's the whole window that gets transparency, of course based on your very own settings.

The application isn't quite overwhelming when it comes to the number of options and it's all grouped in a single screen. You get a list of visible applications, with a “Refresh” button just underneath this list in case an active window doesn't show up.

You can easily select transparency level using the button at the bottom of the main window, so simply click any of them and watch the selected application as it fades out.

There are no secondary configuration screens and this is quite a good thing given the fact that users simply want transparency to their windows and nothing more. All the other options could make the process a bit more difficult, especially for rookies, so here we are, TranspApps appeals to all user categories.

TranspApps can also add transparency to the Windows Taskbar, but this features only makes sense on Windows XP, as Windows 7 already comes with a built-in option created in this regard.

To sum up, TranspApps can come in very handy to many users out there, but it can very well become annoying after a month of so. It's not the kind of app you can use on the long term, but it clearly serves its purpose effortlessly.
