hi,
its in the properties table at the bottom under "window style" tab has its value as % or if you want to put it as code it can take value between 0 and 1

thanks I'll try as you suggested, windows visita, behaves pretty much as windows xp with little more functions, and better human interface layout, i suggest you search on windows vista screen dumps, it looks pretty nice, the effects I'm trying to make are basically same as on the vista application opacity border. in my opinion the vista os, applications look nice in the screen dumps i seen online :) i think they all are based on .NET hope they clear out those errors, ms shouldn't have distributed their software for public testing thats how virus are designed from a distributed source, not good move, anyways im still stuck on the opacity so thanks for reading
if you have a application as a example using opacity code please let me download it, or forward me to somewhere where i can get more examples of this working code.
thanks

It's a property of the form, either at design time or in code, for example:
Me.Opacity = 0.8

Uh, try 0.5 ( as in 50%, half full, half empty...
)

Well, I've no idea what Windows Vista looks like, but I can imagine what you are saying. Looks like you would have to do something clever like make a background form that has an opacity, and a second, owned form, borderless, containing your browser. When the main form is moved, move that 'owned' form. May work, maybe not - give it a try.
