Transparent Context-Menu in Windows 7, XP & Vista

Need a transparent Windows 7 menu? If you want your PC to use even more transparency effects, you can use a handy app to make your context menu transparent! Aside from the context menu, it will also make many other Windows 7 menus transparent! E.g. all explorer menus or application menus will be transparent.

Because TransConMenu (short for Transparent Context Menu) will also make many other menus transparent, you should not reduce the transparency below 200. I think 219 is the perfect value for transparent menus that are not too transparent.

This is definitely a cool app, so that it’s even better that it supports Windows XP, Vista and 7.

You can download TransConMenu over at DeviantArt:
