Fully transparent window frame
In Windows 7 (build 7127) again it is possible
to switch the window frame into "fully transparent":
This "frosted glass" effect ("Blur") can be turned off with the program "regedit.exe" at two places in the Registry and leads then to the "fully transparent" effect ("HideBlur"):
For each user individualy:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
"HideBlur"=1 (REG_DWORD)
Or for all users together:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
"HideBlur"=1 (REG_DWORD)
Whereby the user setting has priority. So, if the "milk glass" effect is activated for all users (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HideBlur=0), nevertheless this one can switched off for individual users to "fully transparent" (HKEY_CURRENT_USER HideBlur=1)
The different views of transparency only becomes visible after a logout/login (or reboot of Windows 7).
