it isn't the skin it is most likely a program called windowfx.

Some skins do have a button for transparency, you would need to check those skins )

WindowBlinds used to have a setting to make explorer window backgrounds "transparent".  Actually it was a duplicate of your wallpaper from whatever location the window was in.  Something about WindowsXP made Stardock remove that feature. With the speed of new CPUs and graphics cards, it would be great to get that feature back again.

The buttons Stumpy mentioned are a transparency plugin by GreenReaper that lets you adjust the transparency of the entire window. I know it's in a skin I made called Alien Technology but I don't know what other skins have used it.

It's still functional, David.
It's a built in WB feature that can be assigned to the click attribute like any normal function.

You can't find them really because they are transparent.

Ahh, I thought you meant the button for setting full windows to transparent, David. Sorry.
