Re: Aero Glass Transparency

Not that I am aware of MirjA.

You might also post this question in the Software forum to see if anyone else may know of a program that will let you do this.

Re: Aero Glass Transparency

So, I used to be able to use the nifty color mixer on Windows Vista Home Premium, but it decided to stop working last night for some reason o.o

Uhm, what do I do?

Now there is the old box from XP where you can attempt (and fail) to change the window colors and the taskbar color and whatnot...

Re: Aero Glass Transparency

Hi VistaEnigma,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

If you are seeing one of the screenshots below step 4 in this tutorial below instead of the one below step 3, then you do not have the color scheme Windows Aero selected. It must be selected, then click OK to close the window (step 4) and reopen it to see it (step 3) again.

Color Scheme

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Aero Glass Transparency

Hi Brandon,

Sorry, but the unsupported ATI Radeon 9250 graphics card will not run Aero.

You will need at least a 9500 model or higher.

Sorry,
Shawn

Re: Aero Glass Transparency

No problem Brandon. The good thing is that you can get one these days at a pretty reasonable price.
