Adds Windows Vista+ support
- Change mentions of Windows - Bump version - Add links regarding Aero

A good question may be: "Why include the undocumented API call when you can just read from the registry as well?" One thing I have observed is that the API call is more accurate because the registry only updates when the user saves the previewed glass color by pressing "Apply changes" in the control panel. This will be useful when users are toying around with Flutter apps changing their color schemes on the fly while the glass color is being changed. |

As discussed in #48, I have made use of the alternative method of interfacing with DWM. Using the undocumented function
GetColorizationParametersand the equivalent registry keysHKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWMto fetch the correct window color before it goes through "Aero treatment".I have also bumped the version and done changes to the documentation to mention Windows Aero as well, using a link to a Microsoft page explaining Aero from the Internet Archive (since there is no better official page describing it).
The functioning example can be seen in the screen recording below:
