It's a little rough, but th patch basically makes windows partially transparent during an opaque move (<em>real</em> transparency, not the faked nonsense built-in to E16), and it adds a "Transparency" menu to the window operations menu (eg, the menu you get in most themes when you right-click on the title bar, or when you ALT+right-click anywhere in the window). You'll need to clear your cached version of <code>menus.cfg</code> in order for the new menu to show up.
