I don't enable transparency with Windows 7 Home.

Thanks.

It is generally our advise not to use the transparency feature.
There are many problems when using multi screens, using third part software such as WinTabber or PuTTYCM, or under Windows Vista and later.
As it is a "gadget", transparency will certainly be removed in future releases.

I used to use PuttyTray which happily supports transparency under Windows Vista and Win 7 (IIRC). Kitty has the awesome drag and drop files. Any chance you could support transparency?

right now transparency is present in kitty, but not working at all so removing that should not affect anybody.
I could not find any program that will allow putty to run with semi-transparent background and opaque text, right now the only solutions that are available give transparency to everything (text and background) and this makes window not much usable. Background-only transparency as I wrote earlier is very usable, for sure You can read some data under the window without switching from one to another, this is very nice feature on very small netbook screen. Of course I don't need that on any of my regular PC, they usually are dual or triple head, but for laptops, netbooks etc. this is great option.

Please reconsider this feature. As I said transparency on background, not for text. And this is sure not only candy-like feature, it can be usable and not necessary will drain CPU much.
