transparent explorer

[brvnbld]

hey..guys....am new to all these...fediafedia from deviantart has done a windows blinds theme called glass for vista WB...see the explorer...its awesome right?....can anyone make an alternative like this for windows seven?....anything...a theme or a shell replacement..or explorer....

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.

Have a look at Glass2K at ...

Download Glass2k 0.9.2 - A small little program that allows Windows users to make any window transparent. - Softpedia

it's been around a while (win2000) but works with vista and I believe W7

Glass2k makes the entire window glassy, including all content - in the screen shot in the OP, the explorer window is glassy, but the items in there are not....

Sorry JohnG

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,
