Text from Developer's web Site:

Transparent does no longer work on Mac OS X 10.3 as Apple fixed the security hole.

etgeek comment:
This also holds true for several other Transparent screen savers listed on versiontracker.

Hopefully some updates will be coming down the pipe soon!!

Basic Transparent Usage Tiphi - Version: 1.0, 12/7/2004 02:20PM PST

[anger]
for those who want a fade that is more than 10 percent you can edit the source.

in the BasicTransparent.m file change the .1 to .whatever in the lines:

if ([win alphaValue]!=0.1)
[win setAlphaValue:0.1];

i know this is not practical for most, but it took me all of 30 seconds to edit, compile and install, and this is before i figured out what to edit.
