Actual Tools Transparent Window 8

For reference windows that should remain visible without fully obscuring the work underneath. Actual Tools Transparent Window 8 sets an individual transparency level from 0 to 100% for any window, using a Make Transparent title-bar button or the Win+T hotkey. A window can turn transparent only when inactive or while it is being moved or resized, and Ghost mode lets mouse clicks pass through a transparent window to the one underneath. The level is remembered for each window. Adjustable opacity lets information remain visible through a foreground window. It can help when comparing material in two applications or keeping a reference in view while working elsewhere. Per-window settings allow a chosen application to use the effect without making the entire desktop transparent. A readable workspace depends on balancing the foreground text with what remains visible behind it. Transparency is a visual desktop aid, not a way to merge or exchange information between applications. It can reduce contrast when both windows contain dense text, so choose a level that remains comfortable to read. Check the target program’s behaviour before applying a rule to every window it opens.
