Screenshotting on my Vista machine whilst Glass is enabled doesn't work I'm
afraid - however if you look on my VistaBase Gallery (links below), you can
see the settings and the colour changes. Although it's a few builds back, it
still remains in the latest builds and will continue to be there until RTM.
First person to try this by the way, just written it now

Zack thanks for the info....
I believe that the intensity can be greater making it more vibrant color,
right?
This is nice then! I had no way of knowing since as I said my test computer
cant
handle glass... perhaps I should get a new card for Vista Beta 2...
You know of any cheap ones I can get for my test computer that supports 2
monitors?
PS. I am looking forward to teaming up with some people here that have done
incredible work on their sites.. mine is almost ready. I have some ideas I
will send you soon...

No. It wasn't. Xerox had that before Apple did a copy-cat on it:

Friends of mine were word processing away well before the PC and without the

Altair.. yes....
the total truth is that the computers were invented by the greeks 2000 years
ago.
And they did have a 3d gui.. in fact the whole machine was 3d
