[concept724 0]

does any one know any applications for win2000 that allow transparent windows and menus (not just fading effect)?.....any application other than windows fx.....

Um, I think it is called WindowBlinds, but I don't know who makes it, as it doesn't seem to run on Win2K. But, before I installed Win2K, I remember there being an option that mentioned Win2K settings.

 

I've uploaded it here: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~brianjon/ntcomp/winblind.exe . Let me know if you get it to work.

 

If this doesn't work, try http://www.litestep.com , or http://www.darkstep.com . These are more than just modifiers, but they work.

Windowblinds is made by Stardock, the same company that makes WindowsFX. They both run on Windows 2000 very well (windowsFX was made for 2000). They work very well, with a lot of option to make menus windows transparent. WindowsFX deals more with the transparency though. Windowblinds is more a skinning program to change the apperance of the OS.

The 9x kernel is to stupid to handle transparency. Software can make it do transparency but it is very slow.

I got that message too, but I don't care as much about customization as optimization.

I don't want to go to those sites because they want you to pay...Hmm..pay to tweak Windows...? Nope, i don't think so.

Just go to www.freedownloads.com. I got them both there. Windowblinds is a cool little program that worked with win2k perfectly. windowsFX was also pretty cool but the trasperent stuff really takes a toll on your system.
