I'm waiting for my approval emaill from the kde3alpha mailing list, but in the meantime, I'll post here what I intend to post to that list in hopes that someone here is a KDE developer and can suggest or implement this in the community. The new version of QT adds hardware accelerated alpha channel support. Since KDE3 will use the latest version of QT, would it be possible to place a slider on the title bar of every application which would allow one to change the app from 0-100% opacity? That way, I can sit and browse sites with a semi-transparent konqueror, and still watch what is going on in windows behind it. A mod like this would be sweet eye-candy, but also quite useful from a productivity standpoint (since I routinely have about 20 windows open, or more). Thoughts? Jay
