Transparent backgrounds in windows

I have Vista 64-bit, and really am pleased with the results. Really have not
had much trouble getting anything to run. My system rates a 5.5, so running
Aero is no problem, but I have seen examples where the windows not only have
a transparent frame - but a transparent background, as well. All you see is
the outline of the frame, the text and the icons. The original desktop
wallpaper shows through the window. There is an example on the Help page for
Aero. Anyone know how to get this effect?
