Who Needs Vista? Add Transparency To Windows With Glass 2k

January 29th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

For those of you sticking with Windows XP, then here’s a cool little app that will make your Windows look a lot sharper. Martin has discovered Glass 2k, which is a freeware application for Windows 2000 and XP which makes it easy to add a transparency effect to any window on your system.

A great feature of Glass 2k is that it is able to remember the transparency settings that you set in a previous session. The default keyboard shortcut to add transparency is CTRL + SHIFT + a key between 1 and 0 with 1 being transparent and 0 not. Click on the image below to load a bigger image see some effects that I enabled on my desktop.
