It looks very impressive and can be highly useful with such windows as the Windows taskbar, Winamp, the Start menu, drop-down menus and lists, any instant messenger and even application windows.
If you have a decorative wallpaper, or attractive desktop colors, Actual Transparent Window lets them through to keep your desktop workarea beautiful! All you need is to make your taskbar transparent.
