I'm not quite sure what you really want to do but If you tried to use Aero glass outside of the non-client area there's special class called GlassForm for Win Forms and GlassWindow for WPF in Windows 7 API code pack right here http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack[^]. You could create translucent controls by deriving from this class in Win Forms instead of deriving from Form class for example but such controls are not so practical in my mind.
