Ghost-It	Ghost-It! is a program that runs in the system tray, and lets you turn windows into "ghost" windows. Ghost windows are special windows, taking advantage of Win2k/XP translucent features. First of all, a ghost window is translucent, meaning you can see through it to whatever is underneath. Secondly, a ghost window will always appear on top of other windows. Thirdly, when a ghost window loses the input focus, it remains translucent and always on top, but all clicks will pass right through it like it wasn't even there until it becomes the active window again. The level of translucency can be adjusted to your preference.
