Yah took a break due to some RL complications.

Gotta get the rest of my stuff over to the new place before I can do more testing (everything is on the HTPC/File Server) I am afraid of borking this test with Aero transformation packs and such

Tried windowsblinds but the trial does not enable transparency and such. And my usual means of evaluating software was not helping me get around this limitation.


Still I do not think that transparency is the issue. The issue is that Vista runs the desktop on the GPU. If there is an "aero" shell for XP, it will solve the problem.

Liteshell mentioned earlier may be on the right track, I plated around with Aston Desktop before, and see they have a few products out now. I will try and look into alternative software tomorrow.
