Simple layout

Ghost-It! runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with.
With a double-click operation on the program’s icon, you can activate the “Ghost” mode. Your mouse cursor turns into a ghost animated one and enables you to click on the desired window for making it appear translucent.

Basic functionality

Ghost-It! gives you the possibility to transform a window into a “ghost.” Ghost panels are transparent which means you can see all applications, documents, icons, or other files that appear underneath it.
By default, ghost windows remain on top of other panels and when you switch to another window, they become inactive. They still remain on top of other utilities and translucent but all clicks pass right thorough them.
Windows can be turn back to their normal state by simply activating the “Un-Ghost” mode. There is also option included in the tool that allows you to deactivate all ghost windows with just one click.
When it comes to configuration settings, you can set the transparency level for the active and inactive windows, enable the fade effect, as well as activate a custom hotkey.

Bottom line

All in all, Ghost-It! offers a handy set of parameters for helping you make your windows transparent on the breeze, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
