I'm not really sure what word to use. "Clearness" is the best I could come up with :) I noticed that some people seemed to have windows where the caption/title bar is more/less clear (or glassy) than others. Does anyone know where to change this.. or if you can?

I know that there is that fullglass.exe floating around, but that's too much glass for what I want.

Thanks in advance everyone...
I appreciate any help.

Edit: Here is the top of the window like I am talking about...

What you need dude is a nice plug-in for Firefox called All-Glass for Firefox 2.1.4 (current)

Thanks man... I appreciate it. I use Cometbird and I already have a plugin that does the same thing. It's really cool isn't it? I'm really just trying to change the windows in "Windows" :)

Thank you Mr. GRiM, but I was hoping for a way to do that with WSB. Guess I will just be happy with what I have :)

As always, thanks for your help.

Yes it would be nice if we could reduce or remove the blur from various thing but as far as know it can't be done.

you can remove the 'glow' or blur from the caption text:

Windows and Caption Buttons > Aero > Dwm Window > Glows > Text

just make edit the image in photoshop to be completely transparent

idk if this is something anyone would be interested in and this thread is a bit old... but i thought i'd share!
