Comment(by raster):

 simple version: can't do it. no compositing. (i can go into the technical
 nastiness of how it possibly can be done with a fair bit of work... but it
 would be a really ugly hack).

 i need to repeat this:

 NO TRANSLUCENCY POSSIBLE BETWEEN WINDOWS.

 unless you want the wheel below application windows... and below the top
 bar. i can do it within the canvas.

 please... august 8 is coming. don't add new things to do now. the current
 code pops up (slides in) a window at the bottom of the screen allowing the
 rest of the screen still to be used while it's busy. it's simple and
 works. if u want a different icon in that bar - ok.

 either that or can you live with this being UNDER windows and UNDER the
 top-bar?
