AlphaXP Lite

There’s no doubt that transparency is one of the most eye-appealing effects in use nowadays, so every single app developed to enhance the final result enjoy great success.

This is the case of AlphaXP Lite, a lightweight but very handy project that can bring the highly-popular transparency effect on older Windows flavors too.

Basically, the app is capable of adding transparency to any active window, but also to the Taskbar, with the latter already highly-customizable in the last Windows release.

There are only a few options at your disposal and this can be only good news because simplicity is always greatly appreciated when it comes to this kind of apps.

For example, it allows you to set up a shortcut to instantly add transparency to an active window, but also to adjust the transparency level of the taskbar.

Sadly, there’s no dedicated option to define a list of windows you wish to automatically add transparency to, so you need to perform this task manually every time.

AlphaXP Lite works only on older Windows releases, including Windows XP, as such an app wouldn’t make much sense on Windows 7 workstations, since transparency is already a built-in option here.

All things considered, AlphaXP Lite deserves a chance, especially because it can tweak the visual interface of the operating system. It doesn’t require more than basic computer knowledge and a decent Windows workstation, as the performance footprint is only minimal.
