?? I don't understand. You are talking about AES objects. Of course there is 
no problem in changing the way an AES object looks. But the AES does not 
know if an object is drawn within a window or not. Also, it doesn't which 
object is the background object, although you can make assumptions.

In what way?

I meant what apps have transparent windows?
