Hi.
First of all, I have extended glass to my client area and I want to put a
search textbox on it. The biggest problem is, that the text inputed is
rendered in glass regardless the foreground color I set to the textbox...how
to avoid this?

The second question is how can I make it glass semi-transparent like these
in explorer windows? I believe this can be done by the dwm blur api but I
haven't managed it to work in C#...

Thanks for any help.
