VystalVivid, Start the "WOW" with new Aero glass effect

[Hairbautt]

The new and improved VystalVivid--formly known as Vystal and Vystal Reloaded--has finally been released!

Vystal offers the awesome affects of aero on Windows XP as well as aero-disabled versions of Windows Vista. The full list of features include:

- V-LiveBlur™:
No delay on moving. Improoved blur algorithm.
- LiveReflection™:
You can see yourself in the borders! It projects the captured image of your Webcam onto the borders.
- MemCare™:
With the new MemCare technology your RAM usage is less than 10 MB! (depends on your settings)
- RealityColor:
Vystal uses its high-quality color engine for really realistic colors.
- CPUCare:
Vystal cares for your CPU. If your CPU gets too hot, Vystal turns off some features so that your CPU can cool down.
- Fully customizable border:
Customize everything you want. Color, hue, saturation...
- Very close to Vista:
Vystal can emulate some Windows Vista functions. Vystal Explorer Emulation, blurred taskbar, startmenu (beta), hide/show Desktop, change desktopstyle, original Vista colordialog
- Special effects:
Add some nice special effects like abberation, transparency, fade-in/out effects
- Helping tools:
VystalVivid delivers two very important tools: The Exclusion-List and the Windowmanager.
The Exclusion-List lets you exclude various applications from beeing changed.
The Windowmanager lets you find changed windows and handle hidden or broken windows
so that your work is save.
- Update function:
Be always up-to-date with the new update function and the integrated browser.

Question is, will this require the same system requirements as Vista?

yeah, this is slow as hell on my PC, while vista ran OK. it's really cool though that you don't have to install it and it's really small, so i hope to see new versions soon.

It's come a long way compared to previous releases...I thought it was well worth the mention on here for the tremendous amount of effort it took by JackHard.

He really jacks it hard, I guess you could say

I also like the extra 'L' in powerful (check image)
