“Transparent screens are the name of the game. That’s not some fancy new technology, in fact, it’s very simple technology imaginatively applied,” Harris writes.
“There’s something new in the crowded world of desktop pictures, as can be seen on our forum’s photo section. Take a shot of what’s behind your screen, set it as a desktop picture and then carefully align your computer so that the screen seems transparent,” MacBidouille reports.
You really have to see some of these to believe them. Check out MacBidouille’s growing “Ecrans Transparents” (Transparent Screens) gallery here.
MacDailyNews Note – Software we use: BTW, TransparentDock 2.2 is an application from Free Range Mac (shareware/donationware – registration is not required for basic functionality) that allows customization of the Mac OS X dock.
The transparency level of the dock is fully adjustable, from fully transparent to fully opaque, or somewhere in between. An assortment of options are available to enhance the appearance & functionality of the dock, and each can be applied independently, or combined into a theme. A fully customizeable palette allows saving & switching between an unlimited number of custom dock themes. As always, built-in reset options allow returning the dock to its original state.
