    Doesn't work quite right. It "works," but like in release preview, there is no blur enabled. It just makes the window borders fully transparent. Unfortunately, the rendering is not done correctly, so even though it kind of works, the result is totally messed up.

    That would actually be a good idea for one reason: deleting this thread would also delete your "Thanks" to ancestor(v)'s question asking why people can't just "stay calm and NOT insult others". That Thanks should be deleted, because coming from you it means absolutely nothing ;)

    If you read the thread, that was already posted earlier, and as I posted, it doesn't really work.

    Why this thread have to be deleted? I am pretty sure in near future we will have an Aero feature enable by Microsoft or by other 3rd Party Programs. I suppose it would be good to leave it here. We are not going to loose anything :)

    Just wanna add a tiny thing about Win7 and 8, this or that OS...I mean nowadays, so much HDD space, dual-boot....anyone ? What is the problem of using an awesome feature of Windows 7 which a VHD native boot. Get to put a nice Win8 in 1 damn file on your HDD. No clutter, no files all over the place, just a nice dual-boot. Past are the times when 1 OS was on your PC as i see it...cheers!

    P.S. To be short, i would like to see Aero on RTM, would be nice if the OP gets updated if anything comes out!

    People in prison are also very nice. They just killed a couple of people here and there, but otherwise they're really nice :D

    Now you have discovered at least one nasty side-effect of your rudeness to people -- that they won't put much stock in your kinds words either. But I'm trying :D

    That isn't Aero, that is a bug in Aero Lite. Switch to a different color and then back to auto-colorization, you will get Aero Lite (Aero without transparent taskbar).
