Vista is sexy because of its new aero glass transparency effects. Here is how to enable and disable this new eye candy.


Eye Candy! The new transparency (or glass effect) in vista is amazing.

To Enable or disable this effect:

1. Right-Click on a blank area of desktop
2. Select Personalize from the context menu
3. Click Window Color and Appearance Option





4. Here you can check if you want to Enable Transparency or not.
5. You can also disable the whole aero glass theme from here. Just click the Open classic appearance properties for more color options link.
6. Select a non-Aero theme and click OK.

These effects require pretty heavy video card specs… If you can’t get it working, it might be time to upgrade your system.

Examples and screenshots of these effects can be seen here.
