Requires Mac OS X, Windows 2000 or Windows XP to work. The window must be a document window.
Set MacProcID of the window to 1104 and you can make it transparent without a title bar. (on Mac OS X)
With plugin version 11.1, we now return a value which should store with the window. Later in the Close event, you call CleanUpTransparentMBS passing this value.
