So, after I decided I liked the Windows Shake, I tried the Windows Peek. It is another feature of Windows 7 that lets all windows go transparent so you can peek at the background. Well, I had broken that too.

Then I narrowed it down to these settings need to be enabled for Peek:
Here are examples of what it looks like when enabled:
Normal Screen
Windows Peek Enabled
