I've been working on my own theme for a bit and I was wondering if there is anyway to make your popups transparent at all?
Plus my shortcuts go on top of other windows when I don't want to. Example: I have notepad open and right click on the desktop and it causes my shortcut image to come on top of notepad. Is there some way to stop this? Thanks!

For the first one, yes.

For the second one, also yes, but possibly a bug (because of the desktop focus causing it)?

so how can I make transparent popups?

I would start by looking at the module's docs in \Litestep\modules\docs.

if you're using popup2 (default or old themes), look for the grdTransparent module in the ls-universe.info modules archive
if you're using xPopup, enable AlphaTransparency option
a quote from the docs:
AlphaTransparency INT
The command makes the Popup really alphatransparent (eg. you will see the background or a window shine through).
Caution:
This won't work on WinME or Win9x!
Valid values are 0-255, where 0 is totally transparent and 255 is opaque.
Default is 255.
