Used AlphaXP Lite for Windows?

AlphaXP Lite resides in the system tray and is accessed by right-clicking the icon, allowing you to set keyboard shortcuts, toggle taskbar transparency, and change the program's settings. Users also can set the program to start with Windows. AlphaXP Lite's transparency function works great, and the very handy hot keys make changing and removing transparency levels easy, even for first-time users.

This simple, effective program lets a user change the transparency level of her or his taskbar. However, a more effective feature is already housed within Windows.

A similar feature that hides the taskbar is already included within any copy of Windows XP. Yet any user can have confidence in trying this freeware, as it works quietly in the background without disturbing you.

Pros
neat...for a toy
Cons
quickly becomes annoying, especially with a busy wallpaper (like mine). go for it if your background won't interfere with transparent icons and such.

I went browsing for tweaks when I suddenly bumped onto this little program. This is a great transparency tool/utility. I even tried the AlphaXP "full version" and the effects were amazing. Great software!
Very good program

Summary
This is a excellent little program. There's only one bug that I've noticed, and its when I move the mouse off of my start menu, and most of it dissappears. The part of the start menu that coverd the toolbar(I have it docked to the left of my screen) stays there, sticks kind of, untill I move a window over it, and "erase" it(guess it shouldn't be a problem with people with the toolbar on the bottom, because the menu doesn't cover it). Kind of annoying, but over all, great program.
