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.

Don't think people will bother to make themes/styles till W7 is RTM. Vista Glazz wont do what you asking as it only patches Vista so maximised windows show transparent, something W7 RC already does.

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,
