Here is another eye candy application for customization lovers. Recently we blogged about "Glass CMD" which puts glass in Command Prompt. Now its turn of Notepad.
"Transparent Notepad" is a small application developed in C# which can be used as an alternative for default Notepad. It provides all basic options along with some advanced features like:
- Rich text support
- Undo, Redo
- Insert Images
- Paragraph, Bullets
It also provides a small toolbar containing useful buttons for basic tasks.
The most impressive thing which it is all about is the transparency. Its completely transparent:

It can be used in Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista and 7.
You can give it a try using following link:

Cool, can I replace notepad with this one, like with the 7 calc?
VG
^^ Yup. But take a backup of original file in case you face any problem and want to restore it back.

Hey guys, while the software is eye-candy, its not that smooth to use. Ex: Keyboard shortcuts do not work. Also, the transparency cannot be adjusted.
Thanks VG.
