Sure you can change the transparency. I know in Unattend it is this:

			<Themes>
				<ThemeName>aero</ThemeName>
				<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>
				<WindowColor>Slate</WindowColor>
			</Themes>

The WindowColor object only supports the built in values. I don't think you can put an RGB or HEX value in there. List of colors:

WindowColor on TechNet

I would presume this could be changed via the registry also.

Cheers, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

That all seems to be a lot of work.... Most can be done using unattend. For theme elements, I'll save the .theme file and use ShellExecute on it during first logon commands. Anything that is supposed to be "default" as far as the Desktop icons go, I put them all in the Public Desktop. I suppose it depends on what you need to do.

+1 on using a theme instead - it's about the only way you can be certain that each user will get the exact same settings. Plus, it's easier to save and specify a theme (and potentially replace it later, if necessary, within the image) than to keep updating unattend files.
