Is there a way to make all program windows that aren't the main selected one translucent? Either by an option I'm not seeing or a program that lets you edit more of mac desktop features?

You can hide all other apps by Cmd-Option-clicking the app in the Dock you want to be visible.

I really wanted that oplique/translusent kinda effect. I dl'd this one program that it was an option in and thought it was really neat. Be nice to use it as an all program thing.

I think maybe a program called Windowshade X does what you want. I'm sure I've seen something do as you ask.

I tried dl'ing it but it didn't work. Said I had to contact the people to update the software or something. But I didn't really feel like having to pay for it anyways. No freeware that can do that? I know I found a bunch for windows hehe.
