    Hi Rambytes,

    The Glass Transparency should be on for all windows when it is turned on. You might try sliding the "Color Intensity" to the left more to make it more clear. See:

    Aero Glass Transparency

    No, what i mean is it's only the border that come transparent... What I want it's the ENTIRE windows to turn transparent when I drag it!

    Rambytes,

    Oh ok. That makes more sense now. Uncheck the "Show window contents while dragging" option in step 6 in this tutorial.

    Hahaha... not this one... by doing this, you only see a little frame when you drag.

    I will try to explain a little more. First, open notepad and make this windows draggable. At this point you see the tittle bar transparent. So next, drag the windows left to right (or right to left, wathever). At this point, and this is my question, I want to know if when you drag the windows, ALL the windows (all the application in the windows) become transparent, like the tittlebar.

    Rambytes,

    Sorry, there is no way to make the inside of the window transparent while dragging the actual window, or any other way that I am aware of. The borders and outline were the only two options. It would be a nice feature to have. I have not seen any 3rd party programs that would add this, but perhaps someone else may have.

    Good luck,
    Shawn
