IM Transparency: transparent when active, more when inactive

[lacir]

The topic says it all. I like to have my IM window a little transparent when i use it so i can type and still see whats happening in the background a bit. I also would like it even more transparent when it is not active. I believe if you have the functionality to enable or disable solid when active, when you have it unchecked then you should have more options for active visibility and inactive

How do you get the transparent thing to work? when i click aim+ preferences, its not an option, i cant change it...how do i get it to work?

there should be a check next to the transparency thing in aim+ prefs.

Transparency only works in win2K/XP.

it is a little check thing, but i cant change it...its like not really an option....is there a way to get it to work?

what is win2K/XP? would winodows Millenium edition be it?

No, it would not be it. How could you have never heard of Windows XP?

windows 2k came out after windows 98, windows xp came out after windows me. windows 2k is a spin off of windows nt, and windows xp is a spin off of windows 2k. only windows 2k, and xp have transparency. as windows 95/98/ME do not.
