Hack Aero’s Glass Borders for vista

The borders around system windows, such as dialog boxes and the Control Panel, are transparent in Windows Vista’s Aero interface. If you’d like, you can make those transparent borders larger or smaller:

1. Right-click the Desktop and select Personalize.
2. Click Windows Color and Appearance.
3. Click "Open classic appearance properties" for more color options.
4. From the dialog box that appears, make sure that Windows Aero is selected as the color scheme. Click the Advanced button on the right side of the dialog box.
5. Select "Border Padding" in the Item drop-down box. To change the size of the border, type a new size for the border. (The default is 4.) Click OK, then OK again. The sizes of the borders will now change.
