Transparent Windows In GVim?

**Tinker Tantrum** · March 10th, 2013

How would one make the windows see-through in Gvim?

It appears from Googling that this capability was removed from standard GVim and is only available in MacVim.

Or you can run standard vim in a translucent terminal.

Okay. It would have been more convenient, or maybe this is something we should bring up in the next discussion about what to do next?

Not sure what you're getting at here.
Of course, I could be a troll and say "use Transparent Emacs".
