Adjusting the Windows Aero Glass Effect

One of Windows Vista’s most dramatic appearance effects is the color and the transparency of windows and other objects. You can adjust this effect to create the look you like. Note that you must be using the Windows Aero color scheme to apply these effects, and that the Aero glass effect is available only on computers that have display adapters powerful enough to show it. It’s also not available in the Windows Vista Home Basic version.
