about vitrite screenshotvitrite is a small windows utility that allows you to manually adjust the level of transparency for almost any visible window. it does this by utilizing a capability present in windows for variable window transparency.
it was created by me, ryan vanmiddlesworth. and like most of my projects, i did it for fun.
how it works
when executed, vitrite minimizes to the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. if you wish to make a window transparent, you simply bring the window into focus (i.e. click on it) and press ctrl shift [any number on the top row on the keyboard]. there are 9 different levels of transparency: 1=10% opaque, 9=90% opaque, and everything in between.
vitrite also has the ability to toggle a window's "always on top" flag. just press ctrl shift + (that's the plus sign) and it will make the active window float on top of the other windows. press it again to reverse this behavior.
vitrite was written in c and is licensed under the gnu general public license. if you'd like to receive the source code to vitrite under a nongpl license, contact me and we'll work something out.
