just to clarify: are you assuming that the whole window will become
transparent and the desktop shines through? I am talking about
making some stuff transparent against a window background, hardly
rocket science for GIMP...

the slider is a dead serious key in the whole experience. to seamlessly
track the mood of users over a a working day (or a hobby night) is
worth gold in user interaction.

the thing to focus here is that GIMP is not going to behave like some
kid
yelling (yep, that is what a dialog is): "that was fun, what are we
going
to do now... I mean now... really now!"
as long as we understand that, you will be able to understand the
