A++ Transparent Forms MUST SEE

Makes forms transparent like glass- coooooool effect ... WinAmp3 uses the SAME effect under win2000 and XP!!!
here on VBC are some codes, but this is 10000 times better - it autoupdates, is very fast and you can adjust the effect from 0 to 254
please vote for me :-))

Side Effects
works only under win2000 - XP
