An interesting idea. I also like interfaces where controls become bigger the closer the user's attention is to them (usually as indicated with the mouse).

What's going on with the "Perhaps" list box? Its gray background obscures "Elk" and the list box, but is transparent wrt "Chameleon" and "Butterfly".

Ian - I think you'll find it is to do with the actual z-order of the components in the XAML. You have to get the ordering right (which actually means front-back, IIRC) to get the transparency rendered correctly.

Matthew... good call. That's indeed what the issue is and was an oversight on my part. I updated the XBAP, so you shouldn't see this artifact anymore.

There were a few comments reporting problems with this XBAP on 64bit Vista systems; and on XP with IE7. (I run this on a 32bit Vista system.) Certainly it should work seamlessly across all of these systems -- we're investigating the issue.
