imperceptibly Explanation: I've never found a good dictionary definition for 'transparent' used in this way, but I've often come across it (in manuals, etc.) used by French speakers to mean that the user doesn't notice anything. Apologies if my suggestion seems to be based more on instinct than on facts. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2006-08-08 20:52:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Exactly! |

in the background Explanation: I agree with Paul's intended meaning of "imperceptibly"; I'm just not sure that's a term that would typicaly be used in this context. "In the background" is along similar lines semantically, and is often used to describe software that runs unnoticed without interfering with other processes. |
