Haha.  Yes, thats exactly what I meant.  Sorry.  That answers my question. 
 And I found another app that accomplishes what I need (Haze Over).  It 
lets me still select things that are in the background.  Thanks for the 
quick response!

By opaque, do you mean translucent? Opaque = can't see through it at all; translucent = can see through it to some degree.

I ask this because Witch has a translucent background, while Desktop Curtain's is already opaque. You can make it translucent by picking a solid color and then adjusting the transparency slider in the color panel. But you can't make an image translucent, and you can't interact with anything -- the curtain is a cover, regardless of its visibility state.
