How come KDE 3.0 can do this and XP can't

[TheBod]

I was doing some tech hunting tonight and came across THIS screenshot of KDE 3.0. I have windows XP and a GeForce4 ti4600 (with NVIEW) I would like my start bar to be transparent like the new KDE is I think it looks nice. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know how exactly to do this - but I do know for a fact that Win2k and XP both support transparency. Of course, MS didn't enable any transparency options - that would just make too much sense I guess. But there are (or should be) programs out there that let you use transparency. Maybe someone else can provide more specific info?

You aren't the only one... I haven't tried KDE3.0 yet, I want to though... I usually try not to use X with my BSD systems, and when I do, I run windowmaker. I need to clear out another machine for Debian...
