Glow and transparency in Vista-titlebars

Using Windowblinds 5 with Vista 3.1 Glass

Hello,

today I congratulate myself for buying Windowblinds 5!

Two problems now: There's a strong white glow-effekt around the text in the titlebars. This sucks. It looks cheap.
Look at this example:

How to correct this one?

Furthermore I want to affect the level of transparency of the titlebar itself. With the Vista-Glass-Theme everything looks very chaotic, if many windows are overlapping each other. No clarity here. Ok, now you could say, that I don't have to use the glass-theme ... but I want to, coz of the glassy borders.

Another one: Is there a vista-style available with a bright taskbar and not with such dark (black) colors? Color adjustment doesn't work fine enough.

Thanks for help!

The white glow is the type of text shadow used, can be adjusted or turned off using SkinStudio. Titlebar transparency is based on image, you would have to create new image at transparency level you want.

All Vista skins I have seen have the dark Vista taskbar, thats why they are Vista style.

I've noticed that for obvious reasons the gimmicks like glass-distortion aren't in WB5. Couldn't one perhaps try kind of 'hacking' this by multiplying the underlaying colors with a heightmap (such as one can build using the nVidia-Plugin for PS)? Or would this eat up too much performance?
