Rainlendar and transparency?

Is there a way to change the transparency a Rainlendar skin? Maybe through Windows or some 3rd party software? I also posted this at their site.

I've been using Rainlendar for a while and I have yet to see a way to change the transparency. If I want transparency I usually make the background image transparent.
But if there is a way to alter the transparency I hope someone tell us.

A-67 is right about the background...just check it in config (that is the only item you can change the transparency). If you want the whole thing hidden, use the 'Hide' Show' hotkeys in Config...

Hey guys it can be done through WindowFX ...Under annimations add a new .exe(Rainlendar.exe)If you look at my pixOS ScreenShot you will see it does work



(Under Transparency Applications) Sorry should have mentioned that

Rainlendar can do transparency in 2 ways: 1. use a .png file and alpha blend the transparency to your hearts content. 2. Kind of a pain, but you can use 2 .bmp files, one is used as a transparency 'mask'. The first file would be named "whatever.bmp" the 'mask' file would be named "whatever-alpha.bmp".

** I don't know if the newest version still does this or not. I checked all my rainlendar skins and they are all using .png now. ***

Hey thanks fellas. I never thought about using WinFX but it works like a charm.
