Originally created by Michael Herf and further edited by Justin Frankel, this plug-in makes Winamp transparent in Windows 2000, allowing you to continue work while keep Winamp in the foreground. Winamp will become solid when clicked on, and fade back into pseudo-transparency when another window is clicked. This is a must-have plug-in for you millions of Winamp users out there.

    I don't know why people can't get it through their thick a** heads. Transperancy is not possible on Windows 98, 95, or ME!! Stop asking for somthing that will never ever happen!!!

    Hey, how do you use this plugin? I put it in the plugin directory but it doesn't show up in the options.

    Actually, actually, actually (getting a jump on the next guy!) Some of us kill the tray icon because everyprogram and thier brother thinks its cewl to make a tray icon. I know if I didn't kill all the ones for the programs I use, I'd have like 15-20 up.

    The memory saving, while minimal, is nice too.

    Also, not sure if this works on 2k, but if you set winamp to have a standard taskbar place (with or without the systray icon) it will show up on the taskmanager.

    I *think* the code that the winamp guys use to make winamp not use the taskbar inherently takes it out of the taskman also...
