My windowblinds transparency does not work correctly. I can adjust transparency on Winsstep's docks and shelves with no problem. When I adjust the transparency in Windowblinds the examples above on the Windowblind's page work as they should - becoming more or less opaque. However when I slide the lever to the left to get more transparency and then select "Apply Changes" the real world window boarders and start menu get much darker. At the far end of the scale (most transparent) they are almost black. Please tell me how to fix the problem. Thank you.

Hey, as long as it works, it's all good! 
Enjoy your WindowBlinds in all their Aero glory. 
I had Vista Basic for a short while so I know how WB's look without transparency. Not ideal, to say the least.

Follow up.
I used Revo Uninstaller Pro. After the normal uninstall it found 172 other items to delete.
Also fixed: None of my windows 7 window manipulations worded eg move to the edge and get 1/2 screen. Shake to minimize other windows. Max window when moved to top.
Also fixed: I had installed window Fx 4 around the first of the year. There was a band of heavy black lines when I moved any window on the desktop. This continued even after I uninstalled Fx4. I had to recover a C drive backup to fix the problem. Fx4 now works now except for the animation which causes Fences Pro and Explorer to crash and restart or is sluggish and unhides the icons. Any help to fix this is appreciated
I was so happy to get aero fixed that I went out and bought a vStyler skin.

uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it.
How could I have been so obtuse?
Thanks everyone.
