You can. Vista refers to it as "transparency". You can also switch to Vista basic theme, which gets rid of transparency altogether.

It's just a bit of transparency round the edges, Lona.  I'm not sure, as I'm not on the Vista machine at the moment, but if you go into Desktop Properties > Personalisation, you might be able to adjust the 'see-through-ness' of the window borders.

Sounds to me like a good window cleaner is required. :out: :)x
Anything and everything that I post on here is purely my opinion, it ain't going to change the world, you are under no obligation to agree with me, it is purely my expressed opinion.

You can see through the borders of the windows. Examples shown on that link that I gave above.

Sorry Noreen, I just don't get it. I've read all that's on that link and I can understand the 3D flip and thumbnails on the taskbar but I don't get this glass window effect.  My desktop just looks the same as any other desktop.

Possibly your graphics card doesn't support Aero fully, Lona?

Checked all in power options and It states I have balanced power options.  I have aero chosen as my colour scheme.  Still don't get this glass thingy.

My computer gets a reading of 5 for performance so maybe I'm expecting something spectular to show.

Great link btw Steve. :thumb:

I have to confess that I always turn all bells and whistles off when I get a machine, Lona. I don't find myself greatly attracted by fancy graphics and colour schemes, I like it simple but good.

Same here, Rik. Can't be bothered with the side thing on vista showing a big clock. It was the first thing I turned off.

I know just what you mean. HP sold a program way back called Dashboard which did more or less the same. I couldn't see a use for it then.
