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.

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 )

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.
