10.5: Temporarily create a translucent Terminal window
Authored by: mantrid on Mar 27, '08 04:04:09PM

I like this hint - it's almost as good as the old window shade effect for peeking behind individual terminal windows (I wish it worked in other apps).

Expose and "Hide" don't cover individual windows, and minimize is useless, making the user go all the way to the Dock or menubar to restore it again.

Full-time translucency is cool and all, but sucks for readability (witness the menubar backlash in 10.5.0-1).

To expand on the hint, the effect also works with background windows using the old Cmd-drag technique.
