    Whenever I make a window Full Screen, such as firefox, the glass goes away and the taskbar and top aren't transparent anymore. Any way to fix this?

    I don't think you'd want it in full screen; it attracts too much attention, at least when I'm using it.

    Or the best is to stretch the window to the max edge of the screen, but not maximising it. The black borders in full screen are to enchance one's focus on the contents in an open window.
