Publisher's description

From Stardock :

WindowFX takes advantage of many of the hidden visual APIs in Windows. You can use this program to add real alpha blended shadows under windows, to add skins to the desktop background, and to make use of semitransparent menus (see screen shot). WindowFX also provides users who run at high resolution the ability to set the size to which they want their windows to maximize. Now users can have animated wallpapers that use few CPU cycles. Most of the cool features like shadows or semitransparent windows are targeted towards Windows 2000.

Users can choose from a library of desktop skins and can have their desktop wallpaper provide news, animation, and more without the normal CPU hit one would get from Active Desktop. This beta program is best run on Windows 2000, although some features work under Windows 98 and NT.
