On the SRX the overlay color map entries can be set to "see-thru" and a "see-thru" window is basically just a normal window with the window color set to one of these "see-thru" entries. If you use the same color for your windows they will also be painted with "see-thru". So you may just need to change the background color for your windows. I am not sure how Unigraphics sets up the color map, but you might be able to change some of the entries, too (but you better not change the see-thru entry or the Unigraphics windows will be messed up.)
