Btw, I’ll be having a short contest. The last human being (robots are automatically disqualified) to leave a comment in this post after 7 days (June 24 @ 11:59 PM) will receive a free .COM domain! Yep! It’s 100% free! If you’re the last to comment. Hehehe. So check this page every now and then before 11:59 PM of June 24, 2008 to get your free domain!!! The time will be based in our lovely WP time. You can check the time after posting your comment, it’s just under your name.(Nagpakulo pa no? Hehehe…)

Vitrite is a tiny utility that allows you to adjust the transparency of most visible windows using a combination of hotkeys. Just click on the window you wish to modify and press: Ctrl + Shift + Any number on the ones family: 0-9.

Vitrite can also toggle a window’s “always on top” behavior. Just press “Ctrl Shift +” (that’s the plus sign) to make a window stay on top of other windows. Press it again to reverse this behavior.

If you want too see how it works then you’re in luck. The source code to Vitrite is released under the GNU General Public License. Visit their website or read the included Readme document.

Microsoft had worked a lot on improving Windows Vista which tend to make a sleek look on their system fonts and user-interface. But ever wonder how to get those Vista-based fonts to work on Windows XP and get them for free also?

Well, the well-known Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia and Corbel Vista-based fonts are now made for public download by Microsoft. Simply download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats from their download center and install it onto the system, then your good to go.

Go ahead and check out your Microsoft Office programs (if you haved installed any) and start making WinXP to feel like Vista with those fonts installed. Simply go the Control Panel > Display > Appearance then go to the Advanced Tab and start customizing.

In a shorter view, right-click on the desktop, hit Properties. Then the display window will appear, choose Appearance and similarly go to the Advanced tab and again, start customizing.

Good luck to all modders out their. :-)
