Yeah, I tried this as well... the titlebars look brilliant, but not everything will draw transparent (ppats for example) and many elements are actually layered on top of opaque regions (I guess the inclusion of Alpha transparency is just in there to accomodate shadows and smooth edges for many of the elements in Aqua). Personally I think it would be amazing if it could be pulled off, though... not just for glass, but for holographic headsup-style interfaces (like the visor graphics in Metroid Prime).

yes totally sweet. I think somehow it is possible. somehow we are missing a file or not looking into the extras file good enough and are not enhancing the possibilities that are within it. I am sure there is more out there that we can not see. who knows really.. im sure someone off desktopper will figure something out. I think it would be sweet if we could have the holographic type you are talking about and then add three d elements into it so it looks like you are just floating around in your system. also i think animated gifs and maybe some flash or something should be able to be imported into the extras file. just imagine what you could do then with a sweet ass flash animation in your menu bar or title bar. or even buttons that truly are sweet. somehow this has to be possible. some program should be made that imports these files into the extras file and tells the system to read them how they are supposed. maybe give the system gui more file extensions somehow? i hope so! sorry for the ramble but this is intense!
