There have been several free tools to customize Windows Vista and Windows 7 transparency level. Some programs even claim to add Aero feature support for Starter and Home Basic editions.
Most of transparency related programs are either paid tools or not efficient. On top that, these programs apply transparency to each and every part of operating system. In other words, they don’t offer the much needed customization options.
To overcome all these problems, Prisoner at sevenforums has developed a tiny program to add transparency to selected parts of Windows 7.
