Anyone know if there's a way to adjust the opacity of the main shell of an Eclipse RCP app? Some clients have asked for this feature for a CTI (Telephony) app. I'd like to keep the application in the foreground and adjust/set the opacity of the window via user properties.

I think you want setAlpha(int)?
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform. doc.isv/
reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Shell.html#setAlpha(in t)

Note, this may not work on some X window managers.
