No, on XP. I mentioned it earlier, but it's so useful I'll do so again: Power Menuy, http://www.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/powermenu/, puts transparency options into the context menus of (almost) any window. Example: http://www.owainsutton.co.uk/images/translucent.jpg Well, I downloaded it, tried it, and looked at your example. I don't get it, though. If there is stuff under the semitransparent box you can't read either. It there is nothing under it, then it does not need to be semitransparent. In your erxample one box covers only a bit of the title - which you know anyway. The other one is hardly readable and it is over a blank spot on a staff. The 'always on top' feature could save a lot of time in resizing and positioning windows though.
