This was posted on LifeHacker, nice

Some people just wont shut up about it being eye-candy, that's the whole idea... No-one is forcing those idiots to use it. I like what you've done.

[jaenster]

[James]

Or just check the first post to his DeviantART link.

Sure.

Nasty!

I update the script to add some DWM checking and Singleton (no crashing).

New features:

• Aero must be enabled
• Singleton
• Vista/Seven check

Have fun

Doesn't work for windows 7, So I'll remove:

If @OSVersion <> "WIN_VISTA" Then
    MsgBox(16, "Glass CMD", "You must be running Windows Vista/Seven to use this!")
    Exit

Strange worked for me. I'll check again in a bit.

In Windows Seven, @OSTYPE returns "WIN_VISTA" so it will work just fine.

Gives me "WIN32_NT", I'm using release candidate though, not beta.

Likewise. Just add a check for that too then.

You're confusing things

@OSTYPE will always return "WIN32_NT" on these operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7,

while @OSVersion will return "WIN_XP" on XP and "WIN_Vista" on both Windows Vista and Windows 7 (at least on the Beta and the Release Candidate).

I guess Microsoft didn't create a "WIN_7" string for compatibility reasons.

[James]

I'm not confusing things, what I put in the code works.

[RomanK]

Sorry if I didn't express it correctly. All I wanted to say is, that not @OSTYPE returns "WIN_Vista", but @OSVersion. (see post #53)

I'm pretty sure those strings are created by autoit from the values recieved from GetVersionEx

I think, these strings are defined by the AutoIt-Developers and they did not include Win7-detection yet.

Why Microsoft is not able to create a func wich returns a unicq number for each OS so you wouldn't have to check this param for XP, another one for Vista and if both are set, it is se7en or something like that ;(
