Glass on Maximized Windows

Whenever you maximize a window, the glass becomes black and opaque. Is this a
bug or a feature? If it's a feature... it REALLY needs to be removed, or at
least make it an option to keep regular glass. It looks really bad.
 
This has been fixed in build 5342.
Really? Wow, my copy of 5342 must be different than yours...

I think this is a bug, and possibly Video related.

Homework, before assumption...

I don't think someone who didn't mention their version is in any position to have attitude.
 
This has been fixed in 5342, I don't know what you are talking about, but it
was a constant complain in prior builds of Vista before 5342 was released.
You have obviously proven to us you are not running Windows Vista 5342 at
all.

Actually not necessarily Andre - I had Aero Express for the first day after
installing 5342 because by WDDM drivers didn't go through or install. I then
went and installed the February CTP drivers from Nvidia (and although not
necessarily compatible) I installed away. Whenever I maximised, I could see
very faint Glass effects and the title bar was much thinner, but it was
almost completely black with a few grey diagonal lines.

After a restart, all appears well and Glass is smooth as ever, but it still
could be a graphical problem. Glass isn't 100% up to scratch yet :o)

I'm running 5354 right now and it has the problem. I have the same thing that
you mentioned, Zack. It's a thinner title bar with very faint diagonal lines.
 
You just Violated your Microsoft OEM Beta NDA!

Nope, there isn't Kevin. There is no NDA for the Windows Vista beta. None
whatsoever.

As I previously said, There is one for the TAP Beta Tester's, which includes
anyone who has access to an Interim Build that is not labeled as a CTP
Build! This includes Build 5342 and the Technical Tester's!
 
There is no NDA Kevin. The Terms and Conditions for the beta program however
restricts us from redistributing downloads from the Connect site. That's
*it*.

Just stop Kevin. This is really annoying to everyone. I could have read
that you are not part of the beta program itself at this time. You get
yours from your msdn subscription which may not have all of the updated beta
info. It is possible that things may have changed that you may not have
access to.

Applied but still waiting to be accepted for the Vista Beta Testing group.
Can't wait to be able to play and help make it even better.

MS Windows XP Pro, IE 7.0.5335.5 Beta 2
 
A Couple of Years Ago, when both Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 1 were getting Beta Tested, We used to have a Rule
that said the following: "Any Build that is not getting Released to the
General Public via Public Download is Under an NDA!"
 
But that was then, and this is now. Times have changed. Please feel free to
show us a link which tells us of this NDA.

Im running 5342 x64 and it has been / not been fixed ;)

When i maximize a window the sidebar keeps it's glass effect, while the
start bar goes black.

Just tested it, positioned a window so its behind the sidebar and start bar.
When i maximize an other window, nothing changes to the sidebar, still see
the window behind it.
But the start bar goes black and the window aint visible no more.
Same thing for the window title bar.

Anyway, i don't think this can be such a big issue. why would people place
windows behind the sidebar or even windows start bar???
It would just be nice if the start bar does not change at all like the
sidebar does.

fyi ... my sidebar is set to be allways on top.
