      In Win2000 the transparency is built in to the GDI. These functions don't exist on Win98, so there's no simple way. You could cheat, by screengrabbing the area that your window will appear, and then drawing this over the top of your window with an alpha effect, but this will be fairly cpu intensive (unless you start doing directx stuff) Basically you can do it for very little overhead on Win2000, as it's built in. On Win98 you're going to have to make your own transparency code, which will be complicated, and probably slow :( -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
