Glass Effect on Windows 8/8.1

Hey Yuri,
I'm a long-time TBL registered user and I've just migrated to a new Win 8.1 machine and I was really sad to see that the TLB 'Glass Effect' is no longer working. I know Microsoft yanked the glass code in Win 8/8.1 but it's now back and available from a 3rd party developer: http://glass8.berlios.de/ [Aero Glass for Windows 8]

True Launch Bar Menus look SO AWESOME in transparent glass (unfortunately, however, the plain transparency has BIG readability issues when overlaid on existing windows due to the missing blur effect).

Is there ANY way you could either:
1) support the glass effect natively within TLB, or 2) support the glass effect that's provided by the above 3rd party developer?

Thanks SO much for considering this. I'd be happy to help with any testing. My TLB menus are now nowhere nearly as elegant or usable on Win 8...
Cheers, -JT
