Does Komodo support these features (or an addon?)

Hi,
I'm looking for an all-round editor for HTML, CSS, PHP and Java.
I've downloaded Komodo and had a play with it, but there's a couple of features that are absent (as far as I can tell). I noticed I can get add-ons for Komodo. Does anyone know if these features exist?
1. "Tidy" code. It seems strange that this one is missing. It's fairly basic and is included in a lot of much-less-powerful editors.
2. Transparent windows. I know that one is not so common. But it's in a couple of editors and it's amazingly useful. In fact now that I've found a couple of editors that support this I don't know how I did without it. So useful - especially when reading code-examples or whatever from a website in the background.
Cheers.

For item 1, you can simply obtain a copy of your favorite code beautifier and then just run it as a system command against the currently-active buffer.
For example, you could run HTML Tidy against the current file with a toolbox command:
htmltidy.exe -settings %F
Whatever language you prefer probably has a code-formatter out there somewhere. This is especially so if you have access to Perl and any of the various addon libraries available for that language.
They're sort of hidden, configurable in Preferences, and available
by right-clicking on the editor window.
