why not? as you can see from the beaver and steve skin, transparency is supported, so why can't you do glass?

that isnt transparency its a frame mask which is completely different. If you notice there isn't anything else that has been given that effect, its simply because WLM can't handle it.

how's it completely different? all you need for glass is to have part of the client area be 100% transparent...

I know the concept is simple and believe me I still don't get why WLM doesn't like it, but it's just the way things are.

If you don't believe me, try it out. All you will end up getting is a fully pitch black window.
