Windows 2000 has built-in support for transparency and layered windows, which makes this plug-in for WinAMP especially fun!

What this does is allow the WinAMP window to be transparent, while opened. The best way to use it is to set WinAMP always on top, which allows the windows to blend with other windows underneath it. Its really just for fun and nothing else.

The source code is being made available by the author, though it is not necessary if you merely just want to play with the plug-in. Remember, if you plan to use this then you will need Windows 2000 or later. It will NOT work in Windows 95, 98, NT4 and possibly not in Windows ME.

It works in WinXP as well though acts kinda weird... disappeares in winshade mode (sometimes) and only the main window goes transparent... and it would be nice if I could set the level of transparency

wow this sounds soo tight.... i wish i had win2k now..

So....no more 8508 coordinates in my region.txt.....first Maxim, now this....life gets too easy....;p

It gets really weird....just try Blame Maxim with this plugin.....I mean, transparent or what!!!!...hehe...

wow this thing is pretty cool, it works rather nicely

I dont see much point in a plugin, when there's apps like [Plug] Trans2k [/Plug]

R than using a plugin for just winamp, you can use an app for all windows? ...i dont know..i guess options are good.

yet another reason why win2k 0wnz.

or you can just get WindowsFX by Stardock and select winamp.exe to be 33% transparent It sounds pretty cool. Its just too bad I dont have w2k.....sigh.....

Hmmm...reboot next day with WA auto load and under LiteSTEP and now a tad more than 505 trans....more like 100% trans....can't find the bloody thing at all...I know it's there....just can't flamin' see it...;p

Ugh...505 = 50%...;p

If only the rest of the windows could fade. Oh well, since there is source included.. I'll try and do something with it

Heh... hey there Jafo...

[plug] http://winamp.mwos.cjb.net My WA trans proggy [/plug]

Like others have said, it'd been done before, it's been done better, and most people can't use it. And I expect it'd get annoying quite quickly. Other than that...

Check out a program called winshape. It will make every section of any application transparent.

Format C: ....makes 'em all transparent, too...;p

Listen to Maxim if you want to use transparency properly in WinAMP....

100% trans with that darn plugin is next to useless...and I've now deleted it so I can actually see WinAMP again...;p

Sonique 1.90 already does this, and its built in, doesn't require a plugin. Winamp sucks, get sonique

Sonique's cool but has limited capabilities than Winamp so stay with it!!!

GhostAmp is neat too, but it cant do that reallllly nice fade effect Oh well I'll be using it anyway..

Win2k Owns J00!

common children, can't we all just be happy using what ever our prefrence is?

i had a transparent skin for winamp years ago. since 98 or 99.

hey jafo

I tried to make it really trasparent like you said, I went format c: and it started to delete files... why is it doing this?

Also, I want to move my mouse to the left side of the screen, but my mouse is already on the left side of the pad... what do I do? send me a note! thanks!

HAHAHAHA ahh that was good...
