How would that be different from a dialog box with no title bar, which you already achieve with styles?

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hGui = GUICreate("", 300, 200, 300, 300, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, Default)
$ctrlButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 100, 100, 100, 30)
GUISetState()
Do
    Sleep(20)
Until GUIGetMsg() = $ctrlButton

Edit: Added demo.

I believe he meant semitransparent. The only way I could see that happening is making a superthin GUI with nothing but a titlebar as a parent to the main window. Make the parent window always a certain offset of the child (Or vice versa), then set the parent window transparent. Confusing?
