Any good shade programs for Windows XP?

I used to use BlueCarpet's WinShade v3.01 (the company is gone I think)
in Windows 9x, 2000, and XP, but it doesn't work so well on my new
Athlon 64 dual core system since some programs don't seem to lose focus
(can't click on anymore since it thinks I am clicking on my desktop).

I also tried other programs like FreeShade, but it hasn't been updated
since 9/26/2001 and some programs don't even roll up and roll down
correctly like SecureCRT v3.4.8 and scroll up and down in PuTTY.

Others weren't impressive to me. Does anyone even use one? It seems rare
and unpopular. Since I use it in Linux and Mac OS X, I can't live
without it in Windows (even use GoScreen for a virtual desktop
manager!). I am hoping there are more out there to try out (freeware and
light on resources preferred).

Thank you in advance.

Hi Mark,

Which themes have the shade feature? I thought themes were from programs
to allow windows to roll up and down like on Mac OS X (e.g.,
http://unsanity.com/haxies/wsx ) and Linux (e.g., KDE).

Thank you in advance.

Maybe I am missing something? I don't see anything code that seem to do
roll up and down. But then I am not a programmer/developer.
