Instead, it makes windows transparent when you drag them around the monitor. AquaGlass actually doesn't change or improve on Aero Glass. Users can toggle the transparency level and the shake sensitivity. For some odd reason, the Snap features required a reboot before they worked, when the Shake and Peek ones didn't.ĪquaShake changes Aero Shake from minimizing all other windows to making them transparent.

There's also a custom option, and it's multimonitor compatible. Where Aero Snap makes windows resize as maximized or to half the width of the monitor, AquaSnap adds in quarter-screen sizes. But that doesn't mean you can't tweak them, and for people who want more out of their Aero, there's AquaSnap.ĪquaSnap gives users fine-tuning control to change the Snap/Shake/Glass functionality, customize the Aqua features, toggle at will between Aero and Aqua, or disable them. They pop visually, they're fun to use, and most importantly, they're useful ways of managing windows. Aero Snap, Aero Shake, and Aero Glass do nothing less than make Windows 7 competitive with Apple's Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the window management front.

Some of the best things about Windows 7 are the window-management tools under the Aero umbrella.
