Yeah, I tried this as well... the titlebars look brilliant, but not everything will draw transparent (ppats for example) and many elements are actually layered on top of opaque regions (I guess the inclusion of Alpha transparency is just in there to accomodate shadows and smooth edges for many of the elements in Aqua). Personally I think it would be amazing if it could be pulled off, though... not just for glass, but for holographic headsup-style interfaces (like the visor graphics in Metroid Prime).
