snipping all but the part i'm replying to...
transparency can be controlled...
let me see if i remember:
/windowcolor chat <r><g><b><t> is the command, i think
r=red g=green b=blue t=transparency
rgb - 0-255
t - 0-4, 0=no fill, 4=opaque
/windowcolor chat 0 0 0 2 is about where it is set to start off with, i
think
/windowcolor chat 0 0 0 3 is pretty good in the snow, makes the background
of the chat window a bit darker.
/windowcolor chat 0 0 0 4 is a black tint, not really transparent, but i
like this setting, makes text real easy to read.
changing any of the rgb numbers changes the tinting of the background from
gray/black to the color which you specify...refer to an rgb chart for
specific colors...
hope this helps

p.s. gotta be in 800x600 or greater to use the transparent inventory
overlay, 640x480 drops to console mode...
