Maximized caption does not blur

I couldn't find any posts by searching, so if it's here, sorry.  When using WB 6.4xx, and you have a window maximized, and open another window, and maximize that one, the caption text/and/or the title bar does not blur.  Does anyone know why, and how to fix it?  It makes for very hard reading when you have multiple windows open, and I hate having to keep minimizing all but one.  I also noticed that even it the window is not maximized, and you hover the title bars over one another they don't blur then either, everything else blurs, but the title bar.

 

Here is a screen shot: http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss161/BobbyPhoenix/Captiontextedhardtoreadwhenmaxim-1.jpg

 

I am using this theme: http://intime69.deviantart.com/art/Aero-Xtreme-7-XP-RC-131919628

 

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Maximized bars do blur, just not over another maximized bar, same with restored windows.

It's something that needs attn. badly, the main thing you need blurred.. doesn't.

It's one massive advantage Aero has over WB

On Windows XP the blur will not blur a caption of another window.  This is a perfectly normal limitation that will not be changing.  The skin author should reduce the transparency of their maximized caption to handle this better.

On Windows Vista/7 this is not a limitation and maximized windows blur.

vStyler: If you want full blur then you would have to move to Vista/7.  Getting any sort of blur on XP was a tricky thing to do.  It is a little unfair to compare Aero to WB on XP given that Aero doesn't even work on XP.

Your right, no problem I realize some things can't be done on XP. I'd forgotten that it does work on Vista.

Sorry.
