Transparent areas...

[maztek]

Hi all, im relatively new to vista style builder and would like to know if it is possible to make all non-transparent areas by default, transparent without having to run any programs and so on.

1. Explorer background
2. explorer Command module
3. start menu search background
4. explorer tree pane
5. info/preview pane

and if there is a way i'd like to know how to set areas in general to transparent, i cant see seem to get this right with a simple transparent .png.
and im looking to make most of the areas where possible to a lite transparent black...
thanks in advance

Edit:
-----
Heres the areas that i want to make transparent in the vista style builder tree path, if it helps...

1.Explorer & Shell > Explorer > CommandModule > <1>

2.Explorer & Shell > Explorer > Items View > Items View > FillColor (main window)

3.3-StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > openBox
StartMenus > Panels > Aero > Top > openBoxExtended

4.StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > More Programs
StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Top > More ProgramsExtended

1 and 2 - no
3- try un checking compositedopaque: bool and adding composited: bool (checked) here-

Start Menu > Menus > Aero > StartMenuCompositedMFU::ListView

4-try un checking compositedopaque : bool and adding composited :bool (checked) here-

Start Menu > Menus > Aero > TopMatchComposited::ListView

-you will need transparent images

thanks, im guessing that if the area can be transparent i'd do something similar for that area as 3 & 4?
