Description lalf 2008-03-09 12:21:06 UTC 
As more and more options are added to office applications and more and more
users are prefering laptops to desktops, how to manage and reduce clutter on the
screen has become an issue of great importance.

Since Windows 2000 it has been possible to give each window a different level of
transparency.  Paint.NET on the Windows platform and Word 2004 on OSX has shown
how this functionality can be used to create more space on the screen.

This could be an interesting addition to the coming redesigned interface of OOo
as well.

IMHO bad idea.

ALG: Not a good idea if you ask me;
- The controls are less well visible
- The now slightly visible document content may give visible feedback, but is not editable, so from my POV it's not worth it.
