    Why am I forced into darkness?

    Why bother developing glass and working on letting the user customize the
    colors and transparency when your just going to yank it away when a screens
    maximized?

    Which it alot of the time. I cant even believe there is no option to disable
    this happening. Sure you could argue it looks more confusing seeing things
    blurred in the bg, I think not, Id like an option.

    With my transparency, set how I want it AT ALL TIMES, stretched IE7 to show
    how it should look maximized

    And how Vista FORCES me into darkness when I maximize anything. GROSS.

    The start button and the task bar looks damn ugly when resized to 2 rows
    instead of 1.

    I love the 2005 media center theme of the task bar, so beautiful.

    But they can’t put it here is Vista, noooo, otherwise people will think
    nothing was changed in vista, so there is a new one, and it is dark, some
    people are calling it the business edition, and some like me are calling it
    the grim reaper edition:-)

    I hope we have more choice by the time Vista is RTM, the grim reaper task
    bar is ok, but I love life, the sky and water; and there millions like me,
    the blue colors are it.
