Wait, you meant Transparent windows or Transparent Window Borders? Many people ask the wrong thing actually

P.s.

I'm not on Linux rite now. But I haf it downloaded. If you can wait for sometime then I can mail you that .deb file. PM me ur mail id. I don't think its huge in size.

Here I've uploaded Compiz settings manager and AptOnCD .deb files for you on rapidshare. Download them and install. If you face any dependency issues then lemme know.

(This is for your requirement regarding the other thread)

Ok now compiz-setting manager is installed. But there are lots of options in it. Tell me how i can get transparent windows and its title bar like vista's aero glass.
