Transparent Windows in Leopard with Afloat

Ever wish you could view one window while working in another window? Perhaps you need Apple's Dictionary while you work on an essay. Or you want to work on an essay while watching a movie (not recommended). Afloat is your solution.

Afloat allows you to make most applications transparent with a simple keyboard shortcut. Just as easily, transparency can also be adjusted with a keyboard shortcut. Afloat also allows you to set a window to "always on top" or even as an overlay so that clicks "fall" through the window. Here is a screenshot of afloat in action:
