Description: A Bespin configuration that includes transparency in certain window parts. Needs ARGB support to be enabled at compile time. Tested under Bespin 999 (svn). Hope you like it
ARGB is the bespin tool to make windows and other stuff translucent. From what I hear, it takes the standard rgb and converts it so it also has an alpha (transparent) channel...anyway, it only comes with bespin 1044 and up. You may have to install bespin from the svn, compiling with cmake. Once you have the right version of bespin, the "Translucent Windows (Experimental)" will have a slider, as well as many other translucency settings. The configure window for bespin is opened by going into the styles setting of Appearances (if you can't find it, just run "bespin"). Hope this helps instead of being confusing.
That's not a color scheme :)
The steps you have to make are:
1. Download the file
2. Open systemsettings -> Appearance -> Style and choose Bespin
3. Then, press configure and in the pop up, press Import and import the downloaded file.
4. Choose the imported scheme from the list, press Load, and OK
That's it!

The whole thing comes down in the code that it was written in. This has happened to all the Bespin downloads I have tried.
It might look good with Aurorae. But I won't install, I don't like Bespin at all.
By the way, how did you get the toolbar background to be opaque with the other windows transparent? I didn't know that was possible...
I guess it's just the way bespin argb support works.. I did not do anything more than editing the (attached) config from the GUI :)

Fantastic work!! But how do I apply the transparent effect? What is ARGB?
Maybe a stupid question... but how to apply this theme? I've tried to install new theme on colors but nothing changed.

With (much) less alpha and some heavy blur, this could be deadly cool
