[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="12" id="2133373"]Vista Home Basic will not support transparency or blur. It tells you that in WB configuration. I used it for over a year that way.I could get transparency with the window frames, but none with the taskbar or menus.I would get transparency in the startmenu if it was open and I moused over ObjectDock,but I have no idea why that worked the way it did. I think this is due to Home Basic not having full Aero capabilities. There

what I HAVE noticed tho is that when I load the Aero Broken Glass WB skin in Vista home Basic, the transparent areas on the explorer windows ARE transparent (you know where the edges of the windows look like the glass is cracked off?) So, how my graphics card MUST support transparency. But then, why wont the Start panel and taskbar do so aswell?

[quote who="Hankers" reply="2" id="2133230"]Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here. [/quote] I'll have to wait til I get home to check my laptop.

[quote who="vStyler" reply="3" id="2133240"]Far as I know Home basic doesnt support all WB's capabilities. Not positive tho.. How did u get it working in image 1? [/quote] I simply found an image on the web of the Diamond style and doctored it with photoshop in the last two images to illustrate my problem. But I forgot to dr up the start panel.

[quote who="messiah1" reply="4" id="2133244"]Does your graphics card support transparency? You need a graphics score of at least a 1.9 I think to run anything transparent. [/quote] Graphics card: ATi Radeon 1150 . Sumthing like that.

[quote who="vStyler" reply="3" id="2133240"]Far as I know Home basic doesnt support all WB's capabilities. [/quote] I've heard that too. I hope there's a work-aroundthat tho. Or that WB will include features that will help Vista support them all. Otherwise, what's the point of purchasing WB if your running Vista? And hopefully Windows 7 will be able to support them out of the box.

Btw: The start panel on my Vista laptop isn't semi-transparent like in these images. But I would like them to be. Please advise how regarding the start panel aswell. Thanks.

I recently bought a laptop running Vista Home Basic and have installed Windowblinds. I noticed tho, that when I apply skins that have transparent parts (such as the Start panel and Taskbar sides in the Diamond style) that I get these white or black sections on each side of the taskbar and under the start panel. Is there wa way to get rid of this, as I have it set to the same configs as on my desktop ?(running xP, tho). Please help. I've posted 3 images. (1) the way it SHOULD look (2) th

Apparently skinning window frames isn't as easy as skinning say, the taskbar or even the start panel. I opened various parts of the window frame of the Diamond style but each part is is doubled ( one for the selected frame and the other for non-selected frame, i know). But I tried opening each of the four parts that make up the frame and on a new layer in photoshop I tried to piece them together so I can create my own frame style using the measurements of those from the Diamond style. But the
