What version of WB?
What skin?
Does your video card support it (post system info from WB config)?

If got WB 5.x, my Video Card supports this effect - it works on the (or a) Vista skin.
Now I'd like to know how I can define this "glass-effect" in SkinStudio in my own skin - there must be a new option or place where I can add a mask or targa I don't know yet.

Thanks for your fast reply.

You don't exactly tell SkinStudio, or WindowBlinds to make the borders translucent. You have to create the borders in a graphics editor, and add them to the skin. "Windows Borders - PerPixel" in the right tree view.

"Windows Borders - PerPixel" That's it. Thank you very much for your fast answers, now I can start skinning the way I want.
