I think it is just like when you change the click 'Turn Off Computer' and an option form will be loaded and for while the background or the screen will turns to grayish color.

I think you want to give your application graphics as in Vista. When a msgbox appears all the screen goes to gray shade except that msgbox??

You can do this in a very simple way.
If you want the coding you can contact me.

Here's one which fades a picture to grey like when you say to log out of XP.

First ZIP is the EXE, second is the source.
