translucent windows

Hi all--

I'd like to have windows that use translucent colors, so I can see
other windows and the app background beneath. I've been doing this in
various versions of Squeak and like it a lot. In Pharo, when I use the
titlebar menu of window to change the window's color, the window color
doesn't change. What must I do? I'm using the tODE memory from Dale
Henrich's GSDevKit project for Gemstone, built from Pharo 3.0.30864.

thanks!

Re: translucent windows

The window color is defined by the theme, for example

Pharo3Theme>>#windowActiveFillStyleFor:

There is no way to change this color/settting interactivly - at the moment.

You need to change the implementation resp. define your own theme subclass.
