1. Special windows/programs

You can add special windows or programs to be making transparent as you want.

All other windows you have not defined in this list box will be making transparent by using the default transparent settings in the "Other windows" group. So, adding a special program or window to the list will force it to be processed by using the settings in the item.

Click "Add" to add a program or a filter for some windows.

Click "Remove" to remove the selected items in the list box.

Click "Modify" to modify the settings for the selected item.

In the "Add/Modify special window or program" dialog box, you can set the transparency value for the window or program, or select "Disable transparent" option to disable transparent with the window or program.

The important area is the filter/path:

If you specify a path to a program, then all the windows created by the program will be set to be transparent by using the value in this item (or, will disable the transparent if you chose the "Disable transparent" option).

if you specify a filter in the input box (of course you should first select the "Filter" option), then any window that matched the filter will be set to transparent by using the value in this item (or be disabled).

The filter can be the window's title or the class name of the window. Note the filter supports wildcard, so if you set "*abc*" as the filter, then all windows that contain the string "abc" (either in the title or the class name) will use the settings in this item (case sensitive).

There is a "Cross" icon in dialog box that can help you to capture the program path or the class name of any window. Just drag the icon to any window, then release it, then the program path or the class name of the window will be automatically filled in the input box. The different is: when you selected the "Filter" option it will return the class name, or it will return the program path.

2. Other windows
