i want to have a way to make a defined part of the aw_3d browser page (the
one in the 3d window) transparent so you can see the 3D stuff behind it like
a 'window'

this will be good for making a 'border' arround the 3d window so it looks
like you are looking thru the windshield of inside a car :-)

they might be a trick to do it, like a certin color (i know there is a shade
of black that makes videos on a media player be shown thru even if its
behind the page.. i accedenty found that out). if not then aw should create
a way.. even if it involves using a diffrent way of displaying a webpage
there.

Eh, laggy as "heck"... Window transparency requires windows 2000+, and is
also rather laggy and bug ridden...

i do not mean make it semi-transparent, which i know requires win 2k+.. but
i mean make it so part of it you see right thu and see the 3d window behind
it.

or this could be done:
a command to bring up a layer seperate from the browser window that will be
placed on top of the the 3d window the same way and be able to have coustom
picture/texture and a mask that is stretched to the entire width and height
of the 3d window.. it will be nice if it can have alpha edges but i think
that will be way too much CPU usage, so hard edges is ok.

Ok, the only TWO ways to do this are.

1. Window transparency (crap)

2. Rendering the text in the 3d window... Which would mean they'd have to
parse and render HTML...
