How do I get transparency support via Remote Desktop?

from Stardock Forums

I have a dual monitor Windows Vista32 PC at work.  When I RDP to my "Win7 64bit" home PC with stardock WindowsBlinds 7.3 installed, my stardock dark colored skin turns into bright solid grey on the taskbar.  I would like to see the same skin; along with transparencies enabled via RDP.  What am I doing wrong?

I have never seen transparency working EVER when using RDP; even when I used to use XP on my work computer.  I don't remember exactly, but I even upgraded the RDP client on my computer at work, but still get this ugly light grey color on the taskbar without any transparency support.

If this isn't a WindowsBlinds problem, I'm hoping someone would still be able to kindly help me figure out a way to get transparencies to work.

It looks like what I'm asking for is "Aero Glass remoting" on a Vista RDP client.

Transparency costs more across the network and is disabled.

Do you have WB installed on the remote PC? That may allow for transparency.
