Actual Window Manager And Transparent Spreadsheets
Actual Window Manager can be used to solve many problems and is really multifunctional, but recently we have received a letter from one of our users with the certain problem. The matter is that when working with Excel worksheets he wants to put an image under the spreadsheet list and make a picture of the screen.
Nothing is so simple when you use Actual Window Manager and the transparency effect.

But let us discuss the solution of this interesting question step by step:
Step 1:
First of all we should open an Excel worksheet and enter all necessary data.
Step 2:
Open an image file in another window, using an internal Windows viewer, e.g. ACDsee or any other image viewer you like.
Step 3:
Make your worksheet active and click Stay Always-on-Top button in title bar.
Step 4:
Make worksheet semi-transparent with the help of our Actual Window Manager. Right-clicking Make Transparent button displays a context menu where you can choose one of the predefined levels of transparency.
With the help of this menu, you can easily choose the desired level of transparency.

Step 5:
Make the picture of the screen (Use 'Print Screen' key for that purpose). After that, your screenshot will be saved in clipboard.Step 6:
Open Microsoft Paint or any other graphics editing application (Adobe Photoshop etc.).Step 7:
Then use 'Paste' button in this graphics editing application (Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop etc.) to paste a picture.
Now your picture file is ready. So, you may print this picture or save it on your hard drive.
