I'd like to add this onto it: if you want a partially visible dialog (like 50%), but don't want the items to be affected, then hide the dialog background; but then make a duplicate dialog (make sure you hide/show it when you make it!). Make it just prior to the other one. This second dialog can be then set at the same spot as the first but then set to, say, 50% transparency. Then you don't need to go into another program and make/change your current dialog (and then import it back again). But don't do this if you want ultimate resources utilization, or if you have a great many dialog boxes to worry about...
Oh, and I suggested that because making the dialog transparent makes the items transparent as well. And you can't set the items to different transparencies if the dialog itself is at a higher percentage of transparency.

I want to make a dialog box that is transparent, where you can only see the dialog items. Possible? =S
use "show/hide dialog background" =]
