Description:
The attached patch is a demo for Win2K/XP alpha
transparency for entire toplevels.  While cool looking
... it's all relatively useless outside of demos and
splash screens.  I attach it here for reference.  Made
against win/tkWinWm.c of 8.5a0.

This sample script has a fade out test:

console show
# A start value of 0.99 ensures that we avoid the
# window class switch "blink"
wm attributes . -alpha 0.99

bind . <FocusIn>  { wm attributes . -alpha 0.99 }
bind . <FocusOut> { fade %W 0.99 }

proc fade {w val {min 0.5} {decr 0.03} {delay 50}} {
    catch {after cancel $::ID}
    if {$val > $min} {
set val [expr {$val - $decr}]
wm attributes $w -alpha $val
    }
    set ::ID [after $delay \
  [lreplace [info level 0] 2 2 $val]]
}

Updated again to use 0.0 .. 1.0 (opaque default) as the
values.  This aligns with Aqua alpha usage, and enables
generally better granularity.

This has been proposed to the TCT as "http://tip.tcl.tk/222".

Update of my patch to add the tkWinInt.h changes, and with
improvements to reduce calls to UpdateWrapper and use the
right Z order when updating wrapper.

An update to the previous patch that creates an alternate
window class style to handle transparent windows.  It
accepts (opaque 0..100 (transparent) as the %age transparent
value.  This should be tipped up for 8.5.  It handles the
cases where layered windows aren't available.
