Howtogeek shows you how to change Window transparency in Windows 7 with a hotkey



Linux has a lot of eye-candy because of Compiz, my favorite of which is the window opacity plugin. Using a short AutoHotKey script, you can add that same functionality to Windows 7.
I used this AHK script as a basis for changing opacity. It uses a single hotkey to change the active window?s transparency by 25% each time until it resets to 0. I wanted functionality similar to Compiz, so I modified the script to use the mouse wheel and shortened the increments to get more variety.
