Have a look here: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php
-> "voting page".
Also have a look at :h todo.txt
Maybe there are additional options as well.
On of them is "do it yourself and provide a patch".

This shouldn't be implemented by individual applications. It should be
implemented at a higher-level (OS or window-manager, depending on
platform) and applicable to all applications. See, for example, the
transset program in Linux that lets you change the opacity of any window
as long as you're running a compositing (window) manager. I'm not sure
if such functionality exists for Windows, but that would be the Right
Way to do it.

niftywindows [1] is able to make a colour transparent on Windows XP and
change opacity by using the scroll wheel.

Do you mean when entering certain buffers switching on/off transparency?
You can achieve this using auto-commands.
Or do you mean on a per window basis? (Certain windows transparent while
others are not?) I doubt that is possible. Is this even possible with
any other application?

Transparency is a gadget, but I meant that text area content
background should be set to an alpha value. Not all the window with
vimtweak.
No, the good feature I am working on is to have 2 toolbars.
First static with builtin icons
Second dynamic and which slide horizontally to display all icon added
dynamically.
I should let you view my icons toolbar if you learn me how to post
html link of image here.

I am wary of liftings. Ever noticed those old former stars (or wannabes)
whose facial skin is drawn so taut that they don't dare laugh anymore,
or even smile frankly, for fear of bursting into wrinkles all over?
Vim has the wrinkles of an age that brings wisdom, and it can afford to
play with children or discuss philosophy with teen-agers without yet
sinking into second childhood. ;-)
Best regards,
Tony.

more "modern" toolbar. But I actually doubt that GVim would gain more
attraction then; after all, there's still Vim working in it. Not made
for everyone. ;-)
People who love eye-candy will probably never touch GVim anyway.

Maybe MS Office like ribbons would help to improve vim's popularity.
I've been told that a future version of OpenOffice will have similar
gui elements. Hence, they have to be useful.

That's true, OpenOffice is a paragon of usability!
