If you want usability, use opaque backgrounds, no offence.
I regularly need a transparent background in my terminal or text-editor for seeing what is behind and getting information from it- you just have to have the settings right for getting not disturbed by it. And eye-candy is always nice but I like it more flat than 3D ;)

Hello Allan,
I found this on the net today: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/24/how-to-blurminal-your-os-x-terminal/
Its a hack of the terminal via SIMBL giving transparent backgrounds of
Terminal a 'blur effect'.
For a certain degree 'blurring backgrounds' improve usability, instead of
being GUI-toy only.
Also, it would integrate well into GUI changes of OSX that came with
Leopard.
Could something similar be on the roadmap?
BTW: This 'blurring' effect could be accompanied (fo' tha freakanoidz) by
effects like 'invertation of the background', making it B/W or applying textures to it.
And Im thinking these kinds of effects will be supported by Core
technology, having in mind that you stated TM2.0 will be absolutly build on core libraries of OSX 10.5 Leopard :0)
Thanks in advance! Dennis
ps: But I also have in mind that you dont think TM will have its own
background-images, so I consider that you dont put any priority on these GUI things :0(
