If you want, you can enable/disable blur and reflection from the windows.
You can give it a try using following link:

Sounds cool!
How will it interfere with the current desktop theme?
In my case, your awesome black win7 for xp theme (with superbar).
Will it just add glass borders, or replace the whole theme?!?!
I want to find that out first, before the theme kicks the bucket and i have to repair it.

So I've got NET Framework (finally), and I don't know why, but I get some very unatttractive black pixels clustered around the corners of my window borders when running Border Skin (but not this version, I'm going to try it out.)
Great stuff!
