Graphics, User Interfaces Stardock has unveiled its first beta of WindowBlinds 5 and with it, glass effects for Windows XP users. Stardock claims that beta 1 of WindowBlinds 5 achieves performance on the same level as the current beta of Windows Vista in terms of delivering glass effects. WindowBlinds 5 also is able to do deliver glass effects on relatively low-end hardware (though it still requires a video card with at least 32MB of video memory).

Gotta love the trolls.

Anyway, this isn't really "glass", it's just per-pixel transparency on non-client regions of windows. While it's VERY cool, it's not the same thing
