As I understand it, in order to achieve True Transparency in a terminal
program, each individual letter displayed in the terminal would need to be
its own shaped window. This would not only (I assume) be a programming
nightmare, but would also make Eterm's current transparency seem like a
speed demon..

The coding of this is left as an exercise to the reader.. ;)
