Late January 2007, Microsoft released Windows Vista. Since then World of Warcraft and Crysis are no longer the sole users of your videocard. The new Aero interface relies on your GPU for a new look with customizable colors and transparency.
Unfortunately as in Windows XP, custom styles are not supported by the system. Programs like WindowBlinds offer a workaround but degrade performance [citation needed]. With VistaGlazz you can patch your system to use custom styles (think of it as an uxtheme patcher for Vista) and you can keep your windows transparent when maximized.
If your videocard is DirectX9 certified and Windows Aero is activated you’ll notice the new transparency look. Normally in Windows Vista, the transparency only lasts until you maximize a window. VistaGlazz ensures transparency, even when your windows are maximized.
The new Desktop Windows Manager in Windows Vista only allows visual styles created by Microsoft. Creative minds on sites like DeviantArt create cursors, icons, wallpapers and themes. After using VistaGlazz you can now use custom styles as well.
