Selectively adjusting transparency of windows within a user interface
First Claim
1. A method for selectively adjusting a transparency of a displayable object within a user interface, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining an n-level within a z-order of at least one displayable object from among a plurality of displayable objects distributed within said z-order; and
selectively adjusting a transparency level of said at least one displayable object within a user interface positioned at said n-level within said z-order, such that said transparency level of said at least one displayable object is selectively adjusted without adjusting said z-order of said plurality of displayable objects distributed within said z-order.

Abstract
A method, system and program for selectively adjusting transparency of windows within a user interface are provided. An n-level is determined within a z-order of at least one displayable object from among multiple displayable objects distributed within the z-order. A transparency level is selectively adjusted of the at least one displayable object within a user interface positioned at the n-level within the z-order, such that the transparency level of the at least one displayable object is selectively adjusted without adjusting the z-order of the displayable objects.
