Google Desktop drops its skin

The latest releases of Google Desktop is now see-thru. Google has adopted a new preference which allows Google Desktop users to manage their desktop with a Google Desktop interface which now plays with a little transparency.
I don’t know about you, but I think Google is definitely doing a great job experimenting with its application interfaces. Does anyone see a Google Talk client being released with the option to toggle transparency for inactive windows in the near future? I think so.
Does anyone know of any decent Windows utilities – free pricetag preferred – which allows users to tweak the transparency of active / inactive windows? I know OS X users can get by playing with Afloat. Windows users might want to check out a previous post concerning a hidden taskbar.
i jsut reloaded my dimension core2 5 minutes ago and i user desktop daily as a sidebar, glad I get to install this fresh!
Is that a snow globe with with Twin Towers in it?
i want a way to dock like google desktop, the gTalk and MSN, like the old times on ICQ =-/
use glass2k for transparency emulation on windows xp.

ChaosCrystal allows windows users to adjust the transparency of windows.
I’ve been using DM2 for years: http://dm2.sourceforge.net/index.html
BTW: Do you know of a way to skin the sidebar? Google has gone through quite a few versions, and don’t really care for the latest one. It looks too much like Vista to blend in well on my XP machine.
