I am using gvim in Windows and novice to it.
I want to have a transparent background for my VI (in Windows) , like console which creates a transparent command prompt.
I asked the same question in stackoverflow and someone redirected me to here.

Run it (vim, not gvim) in Console2 and learn a few VIM commands like, :w for save. (esc :w if you're editing something.)

And what suggests you that he "should learn" that ? GVim is the easiest for windows, as you can edit directly a file with it (with a context menu shortcut, for example). It's not only used by people who "can't" use vim in a console. – Gnoupi – 2009-09-01T13:08:33.277
@Gnoupi I don't see any reason not to...Well I'm a developer so what do I know... – leeand00 – 2009-09-03T02:26:05.190

This capability would have to be added to gvim, as it does not have it.
There is a patch for background images in gvim which you might enjoy.
Also, there is a program called Glass2k which allows you to make any Windows program transparent. It will make the whole window transparent, not just the background.

Just installed this and it's working really well for me.

I doubt there is such thing on the Windows version, but if there is, I'm interested too. – Gnoupi – 2009-08-20T13:52:32.263
