Not in WindowBlinds 5. Only in WindowBlinds 6 which should go into beta soon. So it is a planned feature That's nice. How about semi-glass? Having glass over the desktop wallpaper instead of over the underlying windows, like this:
Ba-bump.
One of the interesting things I've seen in Aero is that it takes a WinFX (I presume) aware application to have one of those glass toolbars like Explorer and IE have. The most striking example being the driver wizards, which are almost entirely glass. Any non-vista aware application gets a dull old grey toolbar.

I solve this problem using 64x64 input images, and letting the application shrink them to the right size. It works for 99% of applications, except (I haven't noticed it on any other application so far) Firefox and Thunderbird. When displaying a dialog box, the buttons will be 64x64, and it looks, w
