I've got a question...

The A3000 will allow setting any color register to transparent.  (so
I've read).  Does that mean some GURU somewhere will write a little
hack that opens up a single bit plane interlace window with two
colors, One of them transparent, so that genlocked video will take up
the whole screen?  The idea is that this screen will use register 31
for example while workbench will be using 0-3 so that the workbench
screen will be grey, white, blue, and yellow (got these colors from the
article pictures) and will look 'stock' but the window behind will be
transparent so it will be a TV.  Compiling?  Don't play games, watch
a little Vanna White!  ::click::  "Nice dress, Vanna!"  ::click::
done compiling...

Can it be done?  I hate jumping up to see what is happening on Star
Trek which is the next room but I can hear it...
      ...I might buy a genlock just to do this if somebody wrote the
hack.
