Maximized Windows

I noticed when you maximize any window the task bar and title bar don't
become transparent. I would like to set it so that when I maximize a window
it will still be transparent, is there any way to do this??

Thanks
Alex

Maybe a third party add-on, someday. I think it was done on purpose so you
know immediately a full screen program vs. a windowed program I appreciate
seeing the difference. I can't begin to tell you how many people have come
to me with: I can't get my Window to minimize. With vista, it is easy to see
that the window IS minimized. Someone has just physically dragged it's
boarders to the max.

No. One way to get around this is to resize the window by dragging with
your mouse. This way the transparency will be preserved. Use File > Exit
to close the window.
