Is it possible to make all windows transparent?, i do know how to make one by specific name transparent, but can you make all windows transparent no matter what window name thay have?

That's a difficult one because at the moment we can't enumerate windows.

Else we could do:

$AllWindows = WinEnum()
For $w = 1 To $AllWindows[0]
   WinSetTrans($AllWindows[$w], "", 100)
Next
$value = Round(100 / 255 * 100)
MsgBox(64, "Set Transparency", "All windows now have " & $value & "% transparency!")

Yo, konan, the unstable has been updated with a winlist function. You can do the same thing natively now.

Sorry, last 1 was bad... try this one
'nother newbie replies:
I copied that code into "whandle.au3", in AutoIt folder, clicked, and got
"Error: Unknown fuction name" on line 3 "WinSetTrans()"..
Same for version at
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5764
What is needed to run examples such as these?
