My understanding is that the shareware version of WB5 does not support per-pixel alpha blending, although most of the other WB5 improvements are there...

I believe the shareware will only support transparency on the blinds included, it will not support transparency on blinds downloaded.

There are 4 skins included with shareware which have per pixel frames.

5imple Alpha, Aura, DogMax 4 & Cyclops. No downloaded skins support it in the shareware version, just the included skins.

You also have to have a video card that supports per-pixel alpha blending
