You may have noticed that when we maximize a window in Windows Vista, it looses its transparency. Many people want the transparency affect even in maximized windows.
You can use a utility VistaGlazz to enable transparency in maximized windows.
Just follow these simple instructions:
1. Download and install VistaGlazz:
2. Now run it, accept the agreement and click on the 2nd icon in window.

It'll patch the default Aero.msstyles file. Restart your system and you'll get transparency in maximized windows as well.
