open notepad, and copy:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ DWM]
“Composición” = dword: 00000001
“CompositionPolicy” = dword: 00000002ç

go to file,save as, then put the name wit extension .reg (for example “name.reg” file and change “text document *.txt” to ” all file”

when you accept the file save as reg file

Actually, this does work for anybody with more than the one brain cell - the registry hack enables the option under the ‘personalization’ control panel applet.

Right-click on desktop and select ‘Personalize’.

Select ‘Window Color and Appearance’.

Select Aero from the drop-down menu and hit ‘Okay’.

Re-open ‘Window Color and Appearance’ settings, and this time, it gives you a coloriser control for the window frames. Choose a colour and drag the slider to determine the amount of colour and translucency.

Sheesh - do you guys expect the kettle to make the tea for you?

Hey, it DOES work. but not as stonking as I had imagined…
The only thing I notice, is that there are more options to change the colors of the window frames and the title bar (of maximized windows) is a little bit transperent.
right click on desktop -> bottom entry (sry, don’t know english name) to change appearence settings -> upper entry to change colors

unfortunately there is still no button to change transparency….

and btw, does anyone how to get to this 3D-animation when switching from one task to another? Alt+Tab gives only the boring way…
Or is this only available in PREMIUM?

save the data below as a *.REG file - then import it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
“Composition”=dword:00000001
“CompositionPolicy”=dword:00000002

I opened regedit and changed the values however,,,Composition was already at 1,, and Composition Policy was 0.I changed it to 2,followed all instructions to the letter. nothing changed in mine.I also trieed to up composition to 2 and policy to 3,, no good .I say it doesnt work for all versions,,namely 6. P.s> I have processor score of 4.3,ramm score of 5.2,desktop performance for aero 3.2(and its shaded??) Gaming graphics(also shaded,3.2) and finally a transfer rate of 5.3. my only low(base score ) is 3.2 , is..its not in themes and when i select it from windows>search themes>aero..i find it ,,but it doesnt work. Im running an intel board D945Gnt and its fully capable of aero so my commanet is the hack dont work on my version of windows hb final.
