I'm wondering if there is not something that can be done at the  
system level to alter the transparency of the sheet so that what is  
under it becomes visible. Something like a command mouse click and  
hold on the sheet to make it temporarily semitransparent. As they are  
now they are very minimally transparent with the information  
underneath slightly blurred as well. Might be a suggestion for the  
Apple brain trust to look into down the line.
