Fast Dial Transparent With Stylish Addon.

Hi Guys
UPDATE (Works Only With Vista And Windows 7).
I have been reading a lot about fast dial cannot be transparent, it is possible.
I have been working with this code taken from http://userstyles.org/styles/19104.
I can get all of fast dial transparent and all of firefox but the down side is, it makes all websites transparent which some will like it some wont.
If someone can stop all websites from going transparent or slightly faded will be perfect, as i have tried for a long time and have been unsuccessful.
Here go's tutorial for noobs i am sure the more advance people will no what to do ( make sure you remove all other transparent apps, plugins, addons or stylish codes ).
1. First install Stylish https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108.
2. After install right click on the stylish status bar icon and turn off all styles ONLY turn on styles after the last step.
3. Again right click on the stylish status bar icon and write new style > blank style.
4. Name the title Glass Firefox and then add code below in the big white empty box and save.
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
-moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important ;
background: transparent !important;
color:white !important; }
5. Create another new style named Glass Websites and then add the 2 codes together below in the big white empty box and save.
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("") {
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
-moz-appearance: transparent !important ;
color: white !important;}
}
@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
background: black !important ; }
}
6. Right click on the stylish status bar icon and turn on all styles and enjoy!.

I also thought the same, have been going through the script compile its a microsoft global style "WS_VISIBLE" visual c++ which i am not very familiar with but it can be converted to java script which could lead to addon for firefox if anyone knows how to do it.
would be worth looking into this script which i came across on google.

Cannot download software not available on website but source code is available to compile on the website.

Which brings us back to opacity and rgba() ?

I think you will find that this might be part of the javascript for that page, but not sure I see anything about transparency
