Transparent applets
How to make an applet transparent
You will see a lot of people around the web claiming to
have transparent applets. You will even see a lot of
applets on our website which you may think are transparent.
However true transparent applets do not (yet)
exist. Transparency is always simulated.
You can simulate a transparent applet by getting
its background to match its surroundings. The results of
doing this can be extremely cool. If you have a complex
website interface or existing artwork over which you
wish to place an applet, the best thing to do is to take
a screenshot of your webpage, crop this image to the size
of the applet, and then enter the image as a background into
the applet.
