Removing the blur on Windows 7's Aero theme

2

1

I want to make the window titles transparent but completely clear. I've tried changing the registry's DWORD HideBlur in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\ to 1 to remove it, but without success.

Here's everything inside that key:

"Composition"=dword:00000001
"CompositionPolicy"=dword:00000002
"ColorizationColor"=dword:1affffff
"ColorizationColorBalance"=dword:00000005
"ColorizationAfterglow"=dword:1affffff
"ColorizationAfterglowBalance"=dword:00000005
"ColorizationBlurBalance"=dword:0000005a
"ColorizationGlassReflectionIntensity"=dword:00000032
"ColorizationOpaqueBlend"=dword:00000000
"EnableAeroPeek"=dword:00000001
"AlwaysHibernateThumbnails"=dword:00000000
"LastDisqualifiedCompositionSignature"=dword:000c0000
"HideBlur"=dword:00000001

I've rebooted and logged off between making changes to the registry, but everything is still the same.

I had luck with this (feel free to buidl a .reg from it)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
"ColorizationGlassReflectionIntensity"=dword:00000000
"ColorizationOpaqueBlend"=dword:00000000
"HideBlur"=dword:00000001

I'm pretty bad with the registry. How might you undo these changes? – VitaminYes – 2014-10-20T21:56:19.777

@VitaminYes You could make registry backup before changes. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry#1TC=windows-7
