transparent windows

Hi,

I came across this ahk script and I am really enjoying it so I wanted to share.

It lets you make any window (including Trados) transparent. You can vary the amount of transparency by holding down the windows key and using the mouse scroll wheel.

Whats really nice is to have your favourite wallpaper behind so it shows through, or even a "background" type relaxing youtube video in full screen.

For me, this is a way nicer visual effect than just staring at boring white windows while working.

; [Win+WheelUp] Increase opacity
#WheelUp::
    DetectHiddenWindows, on
    WinGet, curtrans, Transparent, A
    if ! curtrans
        curtrans = 255
    newtrans := curtrans + 8
    if newtrans > 0
    {
        WinSet, Transparent, %newtrans%, A
    }
    else
    {
        WinSet, Transparent, OFF, A
        WinSet, Transparent, 255, A
    }
return

; [Win+WheelDown] Decrease opacity
#WheelDown::
    DetectHiddenWindows, on
    WinGet, curtrans, Transparent, A
    if ! curtrans
        curtrans = 255
    newtrans := curtrans - 8
    if newtrans > 0
    {
        WinSet, Transparent, %newtrans%, A
    }
return
