Afloat

Afloat is implemented with a hack,
But all the Mac-tweakers agree it's safe.
It lets you use windows in three new ways.
You can adjust their transparency, keep
Windows always on the top layer, and
Use a window as a tracing image
By rendering impossible to click.
This helps if you want to keep chatting with
Some frood while switching applications, or
You want to look at something behind the
Current window by fading it to naught.

Lol, I used a program to add the shadow to make it look realistic. Otherwise it just looks like a paper cutout lying on a table: http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1282/picture2sq0.png

On a sidenote, it's actually under the Window menu, though I always just use keyboard shortcuts.
