I would be more likely to want this with broadcast fare of subthreshold interest, except I would type or do some sort of work, rather than channel surf. I am playing with the translucy preview, immediately wondering if there is a way to alter the degree of translucency.

When he is around and not interested in watching with me I watch them on my PC with my pre-millennial 17" CRT monitor. At over seven years old it is nearly Apple quality. Pretty good for a generic, no? I don't know the percentages, but I watch on the TV in the living room when my roommate isn't around.

I poked around at the screenshots and they only had a full screen mode as a sample. I would love to make the small window translucent while keeping it "always on top" so that I could work and still grab scroll bars and icons under the movie...

TransLucy is awesome and I'm off to buy as soon as I'm done typing here. Thanks!

If the Mac had 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 digital audio out, I might use it more. Hopefully Apple updates DVD Player to use Airport Express to accomplish this.

I never heard of Trans Lucy before ... and I pride myself on knowing about all the cool OS X utilities. :) Bought, on your recommendation. Awesome.
