Without the source, a generic solution will not be possible.

But if you gave the exact details of what you are trying to do, a solution could be possible.

Take, for example, an actual window. If you created a scene in TGB that had a transparent window and then placed a static graphic behind the window, it would just automatically work.

Maybe you can use blending to get this effect.

tried it...blending applies to the whole image...

so i can make the entire middle layer transparent, but all i want is for the circular portion to become transparent...
