That is not what I would like to see. I don't want a transparent window on
top of a transparent window on top of a transparent window in most cases.
The best choice would be to set the transparency for every window
independently of every other window and that window would remain transparent
no matter where on the desktop I placed it. It also would be much better to
dynamically change the level without having to close and open the form. It
is very difficult and slow to come up with a desired percentage that way.
The way vitrite works is you select a window, then with CtlShift  NUMBER it
changes the transparency in real time. You can try any number until you get
it right.

If that cannot be done in logic it would be sufficient to allow the windows
to be changed by vitrite. For some reason vitrite cannot change the windows
in logic. There is something different in the way windows are managed in
logic as compared to most other applications that is preventing it.
