Translucent effect of windows
Depending on the style of your applications, the border of your windows can be translucent: you will have the ability to see in transparency the windows found below or the background image of your Windows desktop. In the context menu of windows, "Disable the translucent effect for the window borders" allows the user disable the translucent effect on the windows.
