    Glass2k Also works well for transparency via keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+Shift+0-9. It's not in development anymore but still works like a charm. Uses about a 5MB footprint from my observations using it.

    The really sad part is you can have nearly all the same "pretty stuff" in XP without buying all new gear and without it being a RAM piggy.And it's all free(I haven't looked for a "flip the windows" style app because after trying it in Vista I just found it confusing)here are the links-

    For the "cool black layout and start menu"http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_2_219_18 733.html and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20903764/?qo=2 3&q=visual+styles+in%3Acustomization%2Fskins%2Fwin dows%2Fvisualstyle+boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h +age_scale%3A5

    After trying both Vista and my little mashed up XP version I think I'll stick with XP.At least I won't have to throw out my year old laptop and I still get all the pretty without the piggy parts.The only thing I wanted Vista for(WinFS)is gone and I got the pretty parts that I liked in XP.So unless the can come up with the "killer feature" that just can't be done in XP I'll stick with XP on my laptop and old reliable Win2K pro on my workstation.

    Installed it once, played around with it a bit, didn't see the point.

    Translucent UI has been part of windows since Win2K. See Glass2K.

    Sheesh! Although it doesn't prove the AC is who he says he is, a quick google search or two will let you know what this BotBlock service is: http://www.chime.tv/products/botblock.shtml and the blog he is referring to: http://www.chir.ag/?20040302

    I'd mod you down like you asked, but I don't have mod points, so I'll reply with facts instead.

    Glass2k. I've used it in the past, makes any window in 2k or xp transparent.

    alright! a gpl'ed program for transparancies!
    I've been using glass2k (and have switched).
    please add its features ;-)
    specifically the settings:
    • change hotkeys
    • autoload toggle
    • taskbar transp toggle
    • sound option (user should be able to pick a wav, default: none)
    • remember each window's transp #
