Thanks James. So I downloaded Dragthing again and reinstalled it to follow your advice. Much better, you are true, overall when transparency is used. So I found one nice setting (I am not enjoying the texture+style combination results, sorry), this is not a lot, but very sufficient to begin: That's why I will now give 5 (nicer) stars. Main cosmetic enhancement expected: applying colors and setting their transparence would give some really nice results under Mac OS X.
