Looking for a way to set alpha value of Desktop icons

Hi,

I just saw in a MacInTouch thread (http://www.macintouch.com/ readerreports/apple/index.html#may18), and then confirmed for myself in Quartz Debug, that Desktop icons are actually windows. It strikes me it would be really great if I could make a proof-of-concept program that retrieves an array (of NSWindow objects) of all the items on the Desktop (or even all the Finder windows currently open), and then allow the user to set their alpha values. Does anyone have any tips as to how I could go about trying to get that array, or even if it's possible?
