You could but it'd globally change the background colors of the entire UI, which means it wouldn't look exactly classic anymore. This is not necessarily a crippling issue since some other windows have been changed at administrator request (ie, Rogean asked) to slightly non-classic for readability purposes. I suspect I know what you want--you'd like it, basically, to be darker. I agree in fact that it can be hard to read in its default state. During testing I scoured the web for proof that the 2001-era evidence that the Trilogy client windows were darker than on this one only to determine that in all probability the windows match code-side and the "brighter-seeming" windows are a relic of modern technology: LCD screens simply don't do dark as well as CRT's could. The goal of the UI alterations was to make stuff more classic when possible hence the default transparency was not touched, being classic in its current state.

In the meantime, community education of the customize options provided with Titanium are useful: As of two weeks ago I had no idea the windows could be so heavily customized, and I hated this UI as much as anyone could. I had never used those options before so I simply weren't aware of their existence. Having learned, I can make the UI more to my liking and I have no great problem with it now. Font sizes in the inventory screen are to be set a bit larger with the next build.
