Media Player glass effect

Apparently at this time WMP 11 does not support the glass effect. I have been to several skinning sites looking and there are templates which folks have started, but have been unable to fully develop. The comments always include something like wmp 11 doesn't support transparency.

Which is dumb. The Aero look should be able to go throughout the system. What do I know...I'm not Bill Gates

This may change when vista rolls out come to think about it

werewolf has sheepish 'duh' face on atm

thanks for that . . thats a shame, does anyone know if it can be done for interent explorer 7 , again further into the client area than just the taskbar ?(i think thats what its called)however i think it may be the same situation as media player.   

I'm not 100% sure, but my guess would be that it is the same thing as media player. I just installed Vista on a second harddrive, and the same download of IE7 on XP and Vista give me two different things (transparent on Vista, and not on XP). So I think its either some .dll's on Vista that enable certain apps to have 'extra' transparency, or something deeper than that.

But as far as I know, this cannot be done on an XP machine.

(some please correct me if I am wrong...)

what is very odd is that I can have a transparent start menu, start bar, context menus in XP with my old video card. Why is it that I can't do a transparent window frame?

hmmm, well its a shame it cant be done, at least not yet anyway   . . even if its nots possible yet, does anyone think it can be done in the future ? if not im sure we can wait till vista
