aero glass

[xxosvista6xx]

How can I get aero glass affects (not as fuzzy nd blurry transparency glass title bars) just I want transparent title bars, regular transparency, I had the sidebar transparent... i want my title bars transparent in a way it isnt to hard for my graphics card... i have windows vista 5231, nd i want a visual style that works on this windows vista nd makes it have less difficult affects for my graphics card, nd my graphics card can handle it......

my graphics card doesnt support aero glass, thats why i want a visual style blah blah blah read the paragraph!

Go to wincustomize.org and look for a windowblind skin by the name of Vista final...... I came across this skin lastnight and gives me transparent borders & title bar, which was all I was looking for. Only thing I had to do was change the default font on it and shazaM!

Edit: Only thing about the skin is that the transparent areas are not blurred. Don't know if this is an important aesthetic to ya.

1. Click Start, Run.

2. Type "regedit" (without the quotes).

3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft

4. Create a key called DWM.

5. Inside of that key, create a new DWORD value called EnableMachineCheck, and set it to 0

6. Create another DWORD called Blur, and set that to 0

7. Create another DWORD called Animations and set that to 0.

This should enable Aero Glass without the blurring and without animations (to lessen the load on your graphics card)

Thought he was looking for a simple way to make it vista style. My bad.

Still works though! :p

That is for WindowBlinds, not for Windows Vista.

WB doesn't work on Vista though. It is only for XP and older. There will be a version for Vista once it hits RC1 I believe.

This is wrong! This is how it should be done:

1. Click Start, Run.

2. Type "regedit" (without the quotes).

3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft

4. Create a key called WDM. (Not DWM as mentioned above!) ( I changed it to WDM and it worked for me! Try it)

5. Inside of that key, create a new DWORD value called EnableMachineCheck, and set it to 0

6. Create another DWORD called Blur, and set that to 0

7. Create another DWORD called Animations and set that to 0.

The blurring and animation was still enabled though
