In the panel; yes. Using a transparent png works really well. These days all panel apps behave quite well with transparent panels. Window border: Yes and no. I don't know if Compiz can do blur at an acceptable performance. Each time I've enabled blur in the past it has crippled the performance. Maybe it has changed, but I doubt it. I am not sure if transparent widgets are possible. The latest gtk+ release added widget-level composition, but afaik no engine is using it (or if that is even possible), and I don't know how viable it is. Maybe some hacker with a little time on their hands should do a quick dirty hack to test this out. It is really not that hard to hack up Murrine or some other engine[1]. Unfortunately I have no time atm. Cheers, Mikkel [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MikkelKamstrupErlandsen/ThemeEngineTricks
