As for the colorization, the Aero Basic doesn't respect that which caused quite a stir when it was announced. As for your hack, I looked through a lot of parts and states and didn't find one that quite worked as I wanted; there were some redraw issues too. PJ: This is more about native OS look and feel than eye candy for the sake of eye candy :) DigDug: I considered that, but it still seems like a hack; we may do it nonetheless. The current implementation was mostly to let the UX team and theme designers play with it and see where it would look good in the UI. Lee:

Seems better to store offsets from the frame in nsNativeThemeWin and then only request glass in the areas (around the edges) where you want transparency. If its requested from a piece of chrome thats not along an edge, then make the whole page glass, or just ignore it. That would take a load off of the DWM, avoid all the transparency in the content area issues, and it follows the recommended usage better too. Is there some reason you insisted on drawing the entire window glass? I still can’t figure out why you guys insisted on doing it this way.

Hats off, Rob. I just find it funny/ironic, that's all. No disrespect is meant at the hacker for the feature and at the effort spent getting this to work. Hats off, Rob.

The docs are a bit vague on exactly what it does, though; I'm not sure it will perform any better. It seems to me it would be a lot more useful to have the full functionality of DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea available from CSS, rather than just the "sheet of glass" effect which isn't used very much. It also doesn't have the same performance implications since it's usually used much more conservatively. At least you didn't go the colour key route for rendering - text rendered that way tends to look very odd indeed, due to cleartype rendering the text with the (usually magenta-ish) colour key as the background. And regarding the colour used for rendering the fallback like WMP: I expected it to be the "favourite colour"-style thing set in the personalisation options. It seems not, though. Of course, I know you won't want to use a hack like this (it definitely won't work in Windows Standard or Windows Classic), but I can't resist suggesting it: use DrawThemeBackgroundEx with Theme=AEROWIZARD, Part=AW_TITLEBAR, State=0 or 2. It seems to get the right colour, anyway. :-) Perhaps for the blur optimisation you could use DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow with hRgn set to the non-transparent bits.
