Make Windows Translucent

You can make your program windows transparent in Windows 2000 or late versions, using a very lite freeware known as Glass2k . Transparent windows are helpful to me and gives a good geeky appearance to Windows Desktop. You can download glass2k from here , it does not need to be installed, you can simply double click to start it, whenever you’ll right click on any window, it will ask you to set its transparency. It is very easy to use software and it is also having a feature to set any windows on top, according to your choice. Productivity Tip :- You can use glass2k in way to increase your productivity, as it will prevent you switching between windows, and you can do two works at time, like I keep browsing my computer by making explorer windows transparent and watching through my e-mail account. You can check out the screenshot below-   Related posts:- Easily Resize a partition in Windows Reduce Windows Disk check time delay
