Control the Transparency of Any Window Using See Through Windows
Maximize and Minimize Windows Effectively
Windows Key with Up/Down Arrows
To maximize or minimize the current window in Windows, use the Windows key in combination with the up or down arrow keys. This will avoid conflicts with Windows 7's own shortcuts.
Additional Features in See Through Windows 1.0.3
Transparency Hotkey
By default, the transparency effect can be activated using the hotkey combination Ctrl + 0 to 9. This hotkey can be customized through the tool's settings.
Depending on the number pressed, the window transparency level will vary, from fully transparent (1) to almost opaque (9). Pressing 0 will make the window fully opaque.
Taskbar Transparency
See Through Windows also allows you to customize the transparency of the taskbar.
NET 6.0 Release and Benefits
The latest version of See Through Windows is now a self-contained .NET 6 application, eliminating the need to download .NET separately. While this results in a larger download size (50MB), it eliminates the hassle of installing .NET.

See Through Windows is a lightweight application that uses minimal RAM and CPU, ensuring smooth performance.
It was recognized as a Runner-up for the Microsoft Store App Awards 2022 - Community Choice Award.
Other Customization Options
Within the tool's user-friendly interface, you can access additional customization options:
- Modify the transparency level of any active window using custom hotkeys.
- Enable click-through functionality, allowing you to interact with underlying windows.
- Use the right-click menu to create a new entry in the registry and set UseOLEDTaskbarTransparency to 1 for further customization.
Conclusion
