Yes, it is possible to keep up with Windows 2000 and
MAC OS X's coolest new features - translucent windows.
And now Microwindows has them.  For a preview, check
out this screenshot:

This version requires programming on the part of the application
window.  Soon, you can just set a window style bit.  All of the
alpha blending (implemented as a blit opcode) can be compiled
out if desired.

Regards,
