[wxPython-users] fade-in effect of a window

Yeah, this is basically what a toaster box should do.

Well, if you work only on Windows and don't care about platform independency, you may try the solution Robin and I have posted on the Wiki to make a window "fading" by changing its transparency. This will require, however, to have either Mark Hammond's win32all extensions or ctypes installed. You may probably get the same result also on Mac with ctypes. No idea on GTK. 
The Wiki page is here:

HTH.

Andrea.
