DXVistaAeroColor is a plugin for DesktopX allowing objects to control the vista glass color and color intensity.

The DXVistaAeroColor plugin is a scripting plugin that exposes Vista Glass color control to scripts.

Widgets

I have made one widget using the plugin: Vista Color Control. It allows you to control the Vista glass color and color intensity.

The contextual menu allows you to quickly get one of the 8 default Windows color themes and to switch transparency on or off.

Use your mouse wheel to circle through the colors and adjust the color intensity. Use the middle button to get the menu. Windows Vista only !
