VistaGlazz

"Customize your Windows Vista installation."
By SoftCns Editor: A new operating system in the Windows Family in which some parts have been rebuilt from scratch. Quite noticable to new users is the Windows Aero interface.
Just as Windows XP, the Vista styling system has it's limitations. All styles must be signed by Microsoft.
VistaGlazz provides a userfriendly solution to this problem.
Transparency stays when maximized
If your video hardware is DX9 certified and Windows Aero is activated you'll notice the new transparency look. Normally in Windows Vista, the transparency only lasts until you maximize a window. VistaGlazz ensures transparency, even when your windows are maximized.
Custom visual styles
The new Desktop Windows Manager (WDM) in Windows Vista only allows visual styles signed by Microsoft. Windows XP contained a similar protection which was patched by the UxTheme Patcher. VistaGlazz delivers the same patch to Windows Vista, allowing you to use your own visual styles.
