There is definitely a lot of work still needed in this, and as I said it won't work for everyone. From the looks of it you need an nVidia graphics card to get it to work at all, which might be the problem some of you are having. I just wanted to share this more for the concept than anything else.

No slowdowns either (but I have a 6800 Ultra video card and an FX55 cpu with 2 GB memory). I'm already running an Aero effect on my XP Pro system and my video card already has transparency capabilities turned on. I didn't notice any blurring effect. So, yes, I agree - this program needs more work. No effect on my system whatsoever. No slowdowns either (but I have a 6800 Ultra video card and an FX55 cpu with 2 GB memory).
