Transparent?

[Vanquished]

Right, windows can be open but if any of them are maximized then the transparancy disappears.

Yeah, but as in the screenshot, the explorer window can be open and its still transparent.
Probably what you said, but just makin sure ;p

Yes, you can have 10 windows open and transparency will work, but if one of those 10 is maximized (not restored down and not minimized to the taskbar) then it won't work.

And I just noticed that I have been spelling transparency incorrectly throughout this thread. Whoops.

Lol
I dont spell words incorrectly that i dont want to.
Gotta love the firefox spell check. But its weird, now that i think of it.
I did spell transparent correctly, lol.
Alright,
I had a feeling u said what i said, I just didnt realize what u meant by "Maximized"
Thanks,
Jack

I get this when no windows are maximised and even when there aren't any windows open. As far as I can remember, it's always been like this:

It should be transparent if you have no windows open maximized.

Check the attachment for example.

Not sure how it is on ur pcs though

I was making sure all mine were checked, when i got reminded of the system restore.
Did anybody realize it takes up like 10gb of space, and updates every day...
Wasting more space?

Nice
I was gonna say that too.
Good find.
I looked at your Screeny and said the only thing different is the itunes toolbar.
But when I tried to drag it down to the task bar, it wouldnt let me, so i dismissed the idea.
Good Find!

For reals
I haven't used itunes at all since vista.
Does anyone know if WMP11 can burn mp3 cds?

Yes, you need to use the "Burn > Data CD or DVD" option.
Make sure you also look at the settings in the "Burn" tab in the Options dialog box.

Ok, so the data cd is the same as the burn mp3 cd in Itunes.
I can play on mp3 cd capable car player right?
