Transparent windows mod?

I've seen some screen shots around using transparent windows that allow you to see the world outside from within a building. Anyone know where I can find/ read about it?

Thanks in advance.

Dongle made some windowsand doors that let you see through them, Barabus made a whole tileset with tranparent windows as well. Phaedrus used some in his Mudcrab Island mod, I'm pretty sure he created them himself, you'll need to check the read me though.

Those Windows won't let you see the world outside unless you build the world within the cell the house is in. Eg, when you enter a house, you are put inside of a different universe called a cell, there are LOTS of cells and each interior cell represents another building interior. If you want transparent windows, you need to build the interior of every single house in the exterior universe. To do this, you would need to basically rebuild the game from the outside in. An other option is to make a fake exterior inside of the cell the interior is in. Yet another option is to use a skybox like what mudcrab island has. Hope this makes since.
