After hours of overthought and search on google this place is the closest I've come to finding information on this. I want to know how to manually change what these programs change to make transparent colors in Win98. I think Microangelo (and I would guess most other programs do the same thing) changes 1/256 of the windows pallette to be a transparent color as it doesnt have one by default. I know it doesnt change the same color on every computer. The reason I want to change this is strictly for customization. I used the color MicroA changed to add to my custom colors. From there I made all my windows and 3d objects transparent. I have Drempels (found at www.geisswerks.com) running in the background for the most awesome effect that NO wallpaper could EVER top. Anyway if anyone has any information or could point me in the right direction please email me :D

I have been thinking about putting this question to micosoft about making changes in registry to make 3d objects transparent or have you already done this and if so what was their response? Thanks in advance Dan Pack sorry bout that, sometimes i expect people (general) to know more than they really should MicroAngelo is a program to edit/create cursors, icons, and animated cursors/icons it also has an interface to customize the appearance of every individual folder and desktop options i used this to make the background of my desktop text transparent at this same option you can make a custom color and after making the transparent color it was automatically the color chosen in the color modifier so i added it to my custom colors then went to display properties and used my custom transparent color for all my 3d objects and window backgrounds i have not sent any questions to MS about this
