Glassy Steam Client With Windows7

After reading this article Glass Command Prompt in Windows 7 I've my glass-looking steam client.

Close your steam client and run the application. Then run steam again. Works better with 'Flat-Obsidian' steam interface skin theme. If the background is white then the steam window becomes invisible so it looks good only with a dark-background.

- Compiled application glassysteam.zip  (*if you don't have VS2010 Beta2 installed on your pc then you'll need 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 10.0 DLL' to run the application: download msvcr100.dll here)

- Source Code (C++ with VS2010 Beta2)

VS 2010 Beta 2 and .Net Framework 4 Beta 2 released

As October 20, 2009 Microsoft released .Net Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 with a "go-live" license. I think that means we can start to write production code with these tools right now because they are "officially supported by Microsoft". Here the beta 2 page.

There are many improvements and fixes in this beta but I really like new browser-based help system. I didn't use even didn't install the old help actually if I need something, I would open a browser and search on the web for it. New help feels like I'm doing the same thing but using the official help instead of the web. It is fast and lightweight.
