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

Win2k sounds reasonable since it has the transparency API's that XP has but 9x not only doesn't but it has the GDI limitations and such so I would not hold my breath getting Aero glass or other transparent titlebars there.

| So please add it to the Windowblinds for Windows 2000 and 9x, too. |
There's not enough people using those OSes anymore (int temrs of people who buy WB) to justify that effort.

I didn't even know that WB supported those OSes anymore.

Frogboy you've said that Aero style transparancy will be available in some future version of windowblinds. Can you give us some indication of when that will be. I'd certainly like to see it before Longhorn (Vista) is available as it will give us a taste of what's on offer for the future.
Keep up the good work
