along with win_2k . . . as well as all subsequent win models (win_xp
here) . . . direct_x was introduced . . . allowin' for the capability
of transparencies / transitions.

i utilize a personal toolbar . . . and am wonderin' if there is a
registry hack to make this toolbar 30% opaque . . . rather than 100%
opaque.

i already have used third-party utilities, such as Vitrite (small,
but discontinues at reboot) . . . and have tried other utilities as
well.

i am lookin' for somethin' permanent . . . and which does not
necessitate downloading a huge program . . . for one simple feature ?

can one designate a toolbar to be certain percentage of
transparency . . . without usin' a third-party utility ?

Is your keyboard broken? If not why is your posting interspersed with
periods and extra spaces?

Not to mention the [shift], [g] and [/] keys
 
i don't get it . . .

i have never criticized anyone on this forum . . .
neither have i issued any derogatory remarks toward anyone . . .

i have spent some time on the internet . . .
searching for an answer to my question . . .
'n it is not an "ignorant" question by any means . . .

i come to the microsoft.com message forum . . .
postin' my question, without CAPS . . .
searchin' for an intelligent response or resolution.

if the two of you do not have anythin' of "relevance" to offer .
.. .
what's the point in sayin' anythin' at all ?
why not say somethin' to the effect :
"i do not have the answer right now . . .
let me check 'n i will try to get back to you" ?

what i have seen in postings by some of the "regulars" . . .
are political remarks or annotations, such as :
"bless bush, down with kerry" . . . or "bless kerry, down with
bush" . . .
and these are totally against the community guidelines mandated by
microsoft.com . . .
primarily because there is no "relevance" with computer / general
discussions . . .
but . . . none of you criticize a regular here . . . seems you turn
a blind eye ?

i do not understand why you choose to criticize me.
i would appreciate any further replies with my posting to be
"relevant".

try yzshadow on the bottom of this page

http://www.electricboom.com/download_plus.htm

Y'z Shadow is an enhancement software which adds a shadow effect to
the windows in pursuit of the "beauty of a shadow".
It also allows the user the option of making menus transparent.
This software is free.

The main features
- Attaches a drop shadow to the windows.
- Makes it possible to select one type of shadow effect in the active
window and a different one in the inactive window.
- The user can choose to have transparent menus. There is also the
option of selecting the degree of transparency in the menus.
- Add a drop shadow to the menus.
- Add a drop shadow to the taskbar.
- The width, depth, etc. of the drop shadows can all be set to your
liking in the settings dialog.
- It works correctly with either WindowsXP styles or classic style.
- The user can specify application windows that you wish to exclude from
having the drop shadow effect.
- The user can choose a setting that will automatically adjust your
windows so they do not overlap or interfere with the taskbar

ken . . .
thanks for takin' the time out to respond.
i have viewed the link you offered . . . 'n have also viewed the
screen_shot of what the program is capable of doin' . . . the
program is also a light-weight (350kb - right up my alley) . . . since,
up 'til now i have no registry hack to accomplish the toolbar
transpareny effect.
one last thing . . . since you obviously use this product (your pic)
.. . . does the software download place any malware (kazaa,
wild_tangent, etc.) on the computer ?
 
No malware or spyware... its 100% clean!
