We have internally figured out how to get a future version of WindowBlinds to supports Aero-Glass style title bars on Windows XP...

does this technique for adding transparency introduce any flicker effects when moved around? Or transitioned between? Also, will the windows still behave nicely with other 3rd party apps like TopDesk? or Entbloess?
Cheers for your accomplishments Frogboy and Crew... I look forward to seeing what windowblinds can do.

NO screenshots? No timeframe? Where did they go? Did everybody go home and leave it a cliffhanger?

Am I glad to hear this! 
I'd also like to know when us OD subscribers can get to "play" with this new skinning "toy". Can't wait. Next thing I'd like to see would be support for 32x32px toolbar icons...

Earlier the comment said that your internal build supports it...why did you change the wording?

If you look back at that Longhorn screenshot, doesn't it look to you that those titlebars aren't simply transparent? They seems to be almost translucent - the text behind is really blurred as if it were actually being viewed through a pane of thick glass or something.
Will WB do that?
