Hi guys,

I have a border, i want the background of this border to be partially transparent (opacity 0.8) but i do not want the image behind it to be well defined. The effect i am after is similar to the Windows Vista window border effect, where you can see that something is behind it but you cant tell what it is.

A few clarifications:
I am working on Windows XP, so i cant use Vista Glass
I need this solution to be portable across any windows platform

Any help would be appreciated :)
