How about a big piece of saran wrap across the screen?

So, I have an odd request. I like the Aero glass theme, and I often find myself moving aero windows in front of stuff just to see the blur effect, so I wonder...

I want just a big Aero window, with nothing in it... like just a sheet of glass to move around on my desktop. :D

how hard would that be to code? couldn't be too hard right?

any coders want to write this for me? or anyone know of some source code that I could strip to make it just a blank window?

First question: What development tools are you using?

If you don't have one, then why don;t you checkout Microsoft's website, and download Visual Studio Express (it's free), then checkout MSDN: Microsoft Developer Network for coding samples?

I can't do it now (I'm at work), but I could create something for you later when I get home in Delphi that does make use of the Aero "Sheet of Glass".

without coding, the best window to mess about with is by far the "add new gadgets" window pretty much a glass window with some icons on it.
