Feature request: Transparent background

from Stardock Forums

Firstly, I love how every last Stardock product just works! I've rarely, if ever, encountered any difficulties and this one is no exception. I love how fully-featured it already feels and that I can push every feature to its limits and it still looks and performs beautifully.

 

That said, I want to make a suggestion: is it possible for you guys to use your expertise in skinning Windows to give an option to allow the background of the Start screen to be transparent rather than an image or color? This would make this a must-buy for any W8 user if their Start screen popped up on top of a blurred view of their windows. I know you guys can do it, and I would advertise this up and down the street (more than I already am) if it had this capability.

I was just about to start a new request post asking for this very feature. I hope that you geniuses at stardock can pull this one out of the bag as it would be the one killer feature that mprove this already awesome little program (I've already purchased two copies).

I'm not sure if a transparant background is even possible but I do hope so!

They were able to pull off some form of transparency with WindowBlinds 5 for Windows XP, so I bet they can do it for Decor8 for Windows 8 :3
