Vista - Aero Glass Theme

How do you change the blur factor for the glass effect?
I see a slider for intensity, but that's not the same thing.
The visual which appears through the transparency is too blurred.
I'd like it more clear, but not completely transparent.
Any ideas?

What makes you think this can be changed? Maybe you can make a suggestion
with the feedback form.

This can't be changed.

In fact I think that what's nice of Aero is precisely this translucency
effect intead of a simple transparency. If you make the windows transparent
instead of translucent the contents of windows will mix and will be very
confusing.

I agree, this is why I want a slider to adjust the amount of translucency.
I still want some effect, just not that much.

I wonder if Stardock will produce WindowBlinds for Vista ...

I'm sure they will...

I'm not so sure that translucent glass cannot be done.
