You know, I loved this feature at first because I bought Windowshade X from Unsanity years ago and I love being able to make windows translucent, minimize in place them, etc. I never liked the way they're automatically shrunken to the dock and unavailable otherwise.

So anyway, not long ago I bought Shapeshifter and in the process of installing it, it works great, but for some reason any time now I move away from one window onto a nother, the inactive ones turn translucent, and I can't figure for the life of me why.

There IS a feature in Windowshade X under 'Advanced', a checkbox that lets you create settings for inactive windows, but it's off now. even right now my sysprefs window is translucent and became that way the moment I left it; when i control tab back to it, it solidifies.

So perhaps someone could help me find out where this is coming from, because while it's nice to be able to see my background thru the windows (digital blasphemy, anyone?) sometimes I need the windows to stay opaque; I mud in one window and have an rtf file of my equipment that I need to see even though the window's inactive.
