Glass appearance window frame colorization
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for performing a method for applying a color and opacity to a glass appearance window frame when executed by a computer, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to a glass appearance window frame, wherein the glass appearance window frame is associated with an application window, and wherein the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value are based upon user-defined entries;
displaying the glass appearance window frame in accordance with the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value.

Abstract
A method for changing a color value and/or level of opacity value of a glass appearance window frame for an application window is described. The method includes steps of determining a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to a glass appearance window frame and displaying the glass appearance window frame in accordance with the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value. A command may be received to apply the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame, thereby applying the defined color value and level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame. Color values and/or level of opacity values may be changed automatically, be application specific, and/or be changed in response to receipt of an input from a user to change one or more portions of a default configuration.

12. A system for transferring computer-executable instructions to one or more computers, the system comprising a computer readable medium having the computer-executable instructions stored thereon for performing a method for applying a color and opacity to a glass appearance window frame when executed by the one or more computers, the method comprising steps of:
-
determining at least one of a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to a glass appearance window frame, wherein the glass appearance window frame is associated with an application window, and wherein the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value are based a type of application associated with the application window; and changing a glass appearance window frame in accordance with the at least one of defined color value and the defined level of opacity value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for applying a color and opacity to a glass appearance window frame associated with an application window, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request to display a first application window, wherein the glass appearance window frame corresponds to the first application window; determining a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to the glass appearance window frame of the first application window; displaying the glass appearance window frame of the first application window in accordance with the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value; receiving a request to display a second application window with a corresponding second glass appearance window frame; determining whether to apply to the second glass appearance window frame a different color value and a different level of opacity value, wherein the determination is based on at least one of a type of application associated with the second application window, a user-defined entry of the different color value and different level of opacity value, a time of display of the second application window in comparison to the time of display of the first application window, and whether the first application window is in an active or inactive state; and displaying the second glass appearance window frame of the second application window in accordance with the different color value and the different level of opacity value.
