The ns- function on Tiger sets the background alpha for the text portion of the frame, including the fringe. It is not propagated to individual face backgrounds or foregrounds. On Panther the entire frame (including the text, scrollbars, etc.) is made transparent for implementation reasons, but I agree this does not seem as useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
