Make any app semi transparent
My boss walks past my screen all the time - I created this app so I at least had a chance of him not seeing what was on it!!! It was fun to write too! It's just alpha blending, but on any running application. Please vote and comment.
Side Effects
Only win 2K and XP, sorry.
