[OS X TeX] TeXShop Editor

[Bob Kerstetter]

Oh, you need to restart TeXShop after setting the transparency in the 
terminal using these commands:

defaults write TeXShop ConsoleWindowAlpha 0.75
defaults write TeXShop SourceWindowAlpha 0.75
defaults write TeXShop PreviewWindowAlpha 0.75

Sorry about forgetting that in the previous message.

If you open the TeXShop help and search for "hidden" you'll see a topic 
called
"hidden preference items" where this and other "creature comforts" are 
documented.
