Transparent? You can select a color in PS, then shift+click with Paint Bucket Tool in the grey area around the canvas to change the color (while in Full Screen Mode w/menu: hit the F key once to get to that mode). Don’t know how to make transparent…
and welcome to the PS Forums! |

Thanks for the welcome.
What I am wanting to do is have photoshop running but be able to see my desktop and folders.To do this I need to "clear" the standard grey work area by making it transparent.Hope I am explaining this correctly. |

Maybe you were on a Mac before? 
Our PC IT guy here didn't know of a way. When you made it transparent before.. was it through a Photoshop setting or your OS? |

Think it was a photoshop setting but cannot remember if it was using keyboard or a setting in photoshop.
Thought you only need a mac when it was raining!  |

LOL!!! Mac when it's raining! LOL!!!
I've only ever seen this on a Mac, never on a PC. If you've done this before, it might have been some sort of a plugin or patch or something of that sort. Years ago, Macs would do it automatically, not sure about today's macs though. Still, I've never seen this done one a PC before. Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you do find a way to do this, please let us know!
