FastAero is a new free program for applying the Aero Glass with blur effects on Windows XP.

* Very smart blur algorithm with low cpu load.
* Works without any other tools , such as WindowBlinds , StyleXP…
* You don’t need to install any thing or unstall anything. So do the program.

Because ClearType font smoothing is not enabled.

No it doesn't work great! it looks like s**t when you apply the "Glass with blur" option, the shadow around the window f***s up, if you happen to use a dock and the window overlaps the dock, the shadow's still using the background color instead of being properly transcluent, so it doesn't look good at all.

BEST STUFF EVER for what it does and because it's made by Polish people like me!

Sadly, I never use XP anymore because IMO it's the worst Windows ever. (Mac, Vista and Server 2008 FTW!)
