What do I call it?

[Andy]

My other post didn't produce the results I was looking for, so I'm rewording
it here. I'm not ignoring the responses I did get.

What do you call a window that is always on top and semi-transparent (like a
ghost)? But clicks and typing will go through to the windows beneath it.
I'm searching for such a product, but I can't figure out what to call it.
I'm looking for one that is compatible with video.

It's not wallpaper, background, or a screensaver.

Not sure if it still does...but nvidia cards used to come with nview for
translucent windows...not sure if you could "click thru" them

Never crashed on me or the dozens of computers I have installed on. If
you think that Ubuntu crashes more than Windows of any flavor, you are
very ill informed but that's to be expected from a dolt like you who
believes the FUD emanating out of Redmond.

Speaking of FUD...in the long period of your claimed "ubuntu installation,

It's been dozens for a least a year.

I think it's 2 ... both yours.

"Dozens" doesn't mean "two". It could be thousands or didn't you learn
what plurals are in school? For example, "PC" does not need an
apostrophe to be plural; that's for the possessive form, you moron.

Results 1 - 10 of about 3,000,000 for vista crashes. (0.44 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,450,000 for Ubuntu crashes. (0.20 seconds)

My favorite is "trying to make Ubuntu crash" as one of the results.

So you manipulated the google search ... and still proved ubuntu sucks.

Vista is on 10,000 times more PC's than ubuntu ... yet you could only
generate a result of 2 times the number of hits.

Let's see....twice as many crashes for Vista vs urbuttoo but what is the

What do you call a window that is always on top and semi-transparent (like

a ghost)? But clicks and typing will go through to the windows beneath
it.

That's an interesting idea! I've never seen or heard anything like that in
the Windows world, though. It makes me wonder if it is actually possible
with the standard APIs.

Incidentally, how would you activate the window so it would respond to user
input? Perhaps the only way to do that would be to click it's icon in the
task bar...

Anyway, sorry I haven't been of help, but it does sound intriguing. Good
luck with your search, and I hope you'll report back on your findings.

And what was it about "trying to make Ubuntu crash" that you didn't

is more susceptible to crashes but thanks for playing, troll.

There are a bunch of apps that do this but they aren't compatible with
video. I've become interested in a product called MindMovies.com. For a
price, you can get a bunch of stuff that helps with visualization which
includes a program that will play a movie subliminally while you continue
working. I'm trying to find one that will already do this so that I don't
have to pay them every month for the use of the software. I can make my own
movies with Movie Maker. There is a problem with accessing the video card
and using hardware acceleration while ghosting a window that somehow they
have overcome.
