    Vista Glazz is a free download that does something similar. Not sure how it works on W7 though. I personally wouldn't try it since it's patching system DLL's. Beyond that, it may be possible by modifying the registry.

    There is one I've seen that gives the effect shown thought it was this one. Although I find the effect very distracting so removed it soon after trying it,
