    Hi everyone, what's the name of the cool effects, like water like ripples when you drag a window, or bending a window when you click on title. How can I set that in my Vista.

    Yeah, I'm guessing that's the name

    Thanks for getting back to me, it does have something to do with Aero, but I have it enabled in my computer and I still can't get those effects. Is there something I'm missing? I have a GeForce 8800 so the video card can't be the problem. Any suggestion is appreciated.

    I've been using Vista for a couple of years and have never seen or heard of this.

    My fault i got confused

    I could have sworn Vista had this, but what I got mixed up with Linux's Beryl interface, which since Vista does not have this feature, Beryl completely blows Aero out of the water. Sorry to waste everyone's time. Here check this out its pretty cool.

    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.

    beryl pWNS aero

    My friend has Fedora with Beryl installed and it makes Vista's eye candy look on par with windows 3.1

    It would be nice if someone was to port Beryl to Vista...
    I'd pay about $50 for it at least.
