There used to be a program called Transparent 42 written by a guy called
Jay Guerette (http://www.pobox.com/~jayguerette/transparent) which was one
of a number of free applets but that site hasn't been around for some
time. Ah, putting Guerette and transparent into Google throws up several
hits including
http://www.geocities.com/mangokun/tr...sparentgui.htm which
appears to be free.

nothing free; I checked it out awhile ago; IIRC there's some
commercial stuff though. If you can get a background image with a
constantish colour where the fonts are you can colour match the
Desktop colour to it (like I did... looks cool)
