How to Make Your Desktop Screen/Wallpaper Transparent [Trick]

Posted by TechChunks on Apr 16, 2010 25 Comments

Ever wished if you could make your desktop screen transparent, which blends seamlessly with the background? Well, its not as hard as you may think. To do so, you just take a shot of what’s behind your screen and make it your desktop background. Simple isn’t it? But, of course, it’s more difficult than it looks to get it just right; especially if you don’t have a laptop. It’s all about the fold-down rotating monitor screen. Post your own pictures under comments and I’ll include them in this post.
